Original U.S. Insert Card Poster (14x36) Folded Very Good Plus to Fine Condition

Original Paramount Pictures Insert Card Poster (14x36) for the Leo McCarey directed masterpiece GOING MY WAY (1944). The film stars Bing Crosby, Barry Fitzgerald, Rise Stevens, Jean Heather, William Frawley, James Brown, Gene Lockhart, Frank McHugh, Fortunio Bonanova, Porter Hall, Frank McHugh, Franklyn Farnum and Carl Switzer. Masterfully crafted by Leo McCarey, the film would win the Academy Award for Best Picture. A morale-lifter for audiences in the war weary world of 1944, the film shines. The presence of Metropolitan Opera Star Rise Stevens adds a brilliant subtext to the story of two priests striving to take care of their parishioners. No cheap unearned sentiment here. GOING MY WAY would win seven Academy Awards, including a Best Actor Award for Bing Crosby. The song "Swinging on a Star" would become a trademark song for Crosby and it would take its place in The Great American Songbook. This poster was used in a theater and has been folded. The bottom horizontal fold is somewhat prominent, and MovieArt would recommend linen backing for the poster, although it is not strictly necessary.
