Babes on Broadway (MGM, 1941). Insert (14 X
<B>Babes on Broadway (MGM, 1941).</B></I> Insert (14" X 36"). A classic example of the "hey-kids-let's-put-on-a-show" genre of filmmaking, this pleasant comedy with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland surrounds the efforts of Tommy Williams (Rooney) to find fame and fortune on Broadway, aided and abetted by his girlfriend, Penny Morris (Garland). That Williams is willing to do virtually anything to achieve his dream is revealed on this colorful insert, which pictures Rooney in drag, impersonating Carmen Miranda, and in blackface as well. The insert shows edge wear, pinholes in the corners, some light scuffing in the lower left, an extra horizontal crease as well as light creasing overall, some border wear, and slight damage to three of the four corners. These are all relatively minor concerns, which do little to detract from the overwhelming appeal of this great poster. Fine.*****<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Rolled Material (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
