This is most definitely one of the most visually stunning Marx Brothers' posters from the 30s.

This film stars three out of four of the Marx Brothers, and was the first after Zeppo had left the act. After leaving Paramount Pictures, it was the first film that they made for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It was a huge box-office hit, and is one of the Marx Brothers' most collectible titles.

Excellent condition, colours remaining very bright, very minor surface wear.

Material of piece: Paper, backed on linen


literature: Souvenirs D'Hollywood, Editions Alternatives, 1986, p. 87
