BUNDLE OF JOY (1957) 16390

Original RKO Pictures U.S. Twenty Four Sheet Billboard Poster 9x20 feet Never Used. Very Fine Condition

Original RKO 24-sheet exterior billboard poster for the Norman Taurog musical comedy, BUNDLE OF JOY (1956) starring Eddie Fisher, Debbie Reynolds, and Adolphe Menjou. Extraordinarily rare U.S. 24 sheet for this film. The movie is a sentimental musical remake of BACHELOR MOTHER (1939). Reynolds plays an over-eager clerk in a large department store, and Fisher plays the son of her boss. The film capitalized on the birth of their daughter, Carrie Fisher who would many years later become world famous as Princess Leah in George Lucas space epic STAR WARS (1977). Debbie Reynolds, of course, is one of the screen's musical-comedy icons. Eddie Fisher was an enormously popular singer in the early 1950s who played in a few movies. The Fisher/Reynolds marriage was the storybook fantasy of 50s tabloid America until Fisher divorced Debbie Reynolds to marry Elizabeth Taylor. This original twenty-four sheet was never used, and is in generally nice condition for an artifact of it's age. However, this poster is quite large and it is quite likely that there will be some distresses to paper which is over sixty years old. MovieArt Austin guarantees this poster to authentic twenty-four sheet from RKO for this movie. MovieArt Austin will sell NO reproductions.
