<B>The Canterville Ghost (Loew's, 1944).</B></I> One Sheet (27" X 41"). Jules Dassin directed this adaptation of the Oscar Wilde play. In the 1600s, Sir Simon of Canterville (Charles Laughton) flees from a duel to the family castle, but his ashamed father seals him in the room where he is hiding and condemns him to life as a ghost. Only when one of his blood relatives performs a brave deed can he be freed from his purgatorial existence, and Sir Simon rests his hope in an American descendant (Robert Young) stationed with a troop of soldiers at the castle in 1943. This one sheet features a portrait of a boozily exuberant Laughton. Two tears mark the right edge, as well as one on the top edge, and two fold lines have separated on the right side too. Fine.
