Original broadside for "The Babe Ruth Story" (1948), which is now regarded as one of the all-time bad movies, and one of the most unwittingly hysterical ones. Poster is a classic of small-town America pop culture, billing an October showing the Meigs Theater in Pomeroy, Ohio. Cardboard with blue lettering for stars William Bendix and Claire Trevor and red for the title and dates of the showing. 17 x 25" and G w/some water damage and some of the upper and lower left corners torn away. Framing would improve it considerably.
