Vintage original 14x22 in. Belgian poster from the classic 1940's World War II comedy adventure, AIR RAID WARDENS, released in 1943 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and directed by Edward Sedgwick. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy co-star as two
bumblers, failures as businessmen and air raid wardens, who stumble upon a nest
of Nazi saboteurs bent on blowing up the local magnesium plant.
This vintage original poster was printed for a theatrical release in Belgium in the 1970's and features beautiful artwork depicting air raid warden Stanley (Stan Laurel) blowing his whistle as Oliver (Oliver Hardy) plugs his ears and grimaces. The colors are terrific and features shades of rich black, medium blue, and a bright orange background for the credits area. Measuring 22x14 in., this vintage original poster is unrestored in good+ condition with a light vertical fold down the center; a 3.5 in. tear in the top left corner that goes into the blue background area; multiple creases in the top border; a 1.75 in. horizontal tear on the right border below the top border; random small creases in the bottom border; a light 9 in. diagonal crease on the bottom left corner; a 2 in. and 1.25 in. diagonal crease on the bottom left corner itself; and signs of wear on the left border. The color tints are fresh and vibrant without any signs of fading.
This is a great Laurel and Hardy original movie poster.
