American One Sheet 27" x 41"


This Depression-influenced comedy stars Douglas Fairbanks as a financier whose setbacks are driving him to drink, much to the consternation of valet Edward Everett Horton. This witty comedy (which began as an Irving Berlin musical until all but one song were excised) co-stars Bebe Daniels and includes an early performance by Bing Crosby as a member of the Whiteman Rhythm Boys. This unusual one sheet features many major stars of the day giving their thoughts on the film, and must be the early predecessor of the review style one sheet. Charlie Chaplin, Gloria Swanson, Al Jolson, Joan Crawford, and even Douglas Fairbanks Jr. are quoted in their W.U. telegrams. The poster is printed on a slightly heavier stock paper and is slightly oversized. Prior to professional restoration it had fold wear with small tears, tiny crossfold separations, and two minor chips at the top corners. Very Fine on Linen.
