Orig. Movie Publicity Poster; Wallace Beery; Salute to the Marines - MGM

As found in an old closed up theater, estate purchase. Several unique original movie publicity trade ad posters with credits etc. Selling individually.

This one is for the 1943 World War II propaganda war film drama. Caricature's of the actors Wallace Beery on one side.
The other shows that this is just one of M-G-M's New Group, Famed "12 Toppers". The Line-up to sign-up! (Lets all give! National War Fund which give to all!)
Tops in Production! Tops in Technicolor! Tops in U.S. Government Cooperation!

Plot: Wallace Beery stars in this patriotic World War II drama about a tough retired Marine who is caught in the middle of the Philippines campaign, experiencing action, heroics, and tragedy.

Release date -- August 1943
 Producer:  John W. Considine Jr.

About the artist Jacques Kapralik (Oct. 29, 1906, Bucharest, Romania ‑ Nov. 28, 1960, Los Angeles) was a Romanian American caricaturist.
He is best remembered for his work with MGM in the 1940s when he created film star art and movie posters.

Approx. measurements: 9 x 12 inches ... Would be great matted and framed. Would be terrific hung in a double sided frame.

This is in wonderful condition. Shows some mild bumped corners. Very tiny bit of edge wear. Hardly noticeable.
Excellent for the Movie buff or fan of the Actors. Original Publicity poster, not a reproduction. Marked Litho U.S.A.
