Printed in 1947, this is an original “My Favorite Brunette” movie poster. The movie is an American romantic comedy film and film noir parody, directed by Elliott Nugent and starring Bobe Hope and Dorothy Lamour. The film is about a baby photographer on death row in San Quentin State Prison who tells reporters his history. While taking care of his private-eye neighbor's office, he is asked by an irresistible baroness to find a missing baron, which initiates a series of confusing but sinister events in a gloomy mansion and a private sanatorium. Spoofing movie detectives and the film noir style, the film features Lon Chaney Jr. playing Willie, a character based on his Of Mice and Men role Lennie: Peter Lorre as Kismet, a comic take on his many film noir roles; and cameo appearances by film noir regular Bing Crosby. Sequences were filmed in San Francisco and Pebble Beach California.

The paper has such a nice thin rice paper feel and the colors are vibrant and beautiful. There are folds in the paper that we will do well to disguise once mounted to wood. Such a delightful piece for your collection given its history.
