Original Dominant Pictures Half Sheet Poster (22x28). 1956 Re-Release. Good condition.

Original 1956 Dominant Pictures Re-Release Half Sheet Poster (22x28) for the Michael Curtiz musical biography, YANKEE DOODLE DANDY (1942)--starring James Cagney, Joan Leslie, and Walter Huston. This is a musical portrait of James M. Cohan-- who wrote, produced, directed, and starred in his own musical shows for which he composed many memorable songs. Known as "the man who owned Broadway" in the decade before World War I, Cohan is considered to be father of American musical comedy. Cagney won the Oscar for Best Actor, and the film also won Oscars for Best Music and Best Sound Recording. It was also nominated in five other categories--including Best Original Story, Best Director, and Best Picture. The poster has some staining but can be easily restored. An interesting image of Cagney, this reissue poster of 1956 is actually scarcer than 1942 posters. Ask us about restoration. Originally folded, this 1956 re-release half sheet poster is in good condition.
