Original British 17 inch x 22 inch Trade Advertisement removed from a British Film Trade Journal for the 1941 Herbert Wilcox Musical Romance NO, NO, NANETTE, based on the Broadway musical by Frank Mandel & Otto A. Harbach and starring Anna Neagle, Richard Carlson, Victor Mature, Roland Young, Helen Broderick, Zasu Pitts and Eve Arden.
Perky young Nanette attempts to save the marriage of her uncle and aunt by untangling Uncle Jimmy from several innocent but ensnaring flirtations. Attempting one such unentanglement, Nanette enlists the help of theatrical producer Bill Trainor, who promptly falls in love with her. The same thing happens when artist Tom Gillespie is called on for help. But soon Uncle Jimmy’s flirtations become too numerous, and Nanette’s romances with Tom and Bill run into trouble. Will Uncle Jimmy’s marriage survive, and will Nanette find happiness with Tom, Bill, or somebody else?
The trade advert is in very good condition with one vertical centre fold. There are 2 sets of minor staple hole wear along the centre fold. Will ship in gorilla proof tube.
Trade advertisements are colourful posters aimed at cinema managers, which were either slipped in, or part of, the weekly film trade journals which were available to them by subscription but were not sold to the general public. The large size Trade advertisements are about the size of US half sheet posters and have a centre fold which is usually hard to discern when flat. Most were designed to be pulled out, and some were attached by staples. Most have the date in tiny letters in one of the top corners.
The publishers own copies from the 1930’s were destroyed by fire and water damage during the Blitz and Wartime paper drives decimated those held by cinemas making them quite rare.
