SWEEPSTAKES

Original French 47 inch x 63 inch Poster for the 1931 Albert Rogell Horse-racing Comedy SWEEPSTAKES (JEUNESSE TRIOMPHE) starring Eddie Quillan, Marion Nixon, Lew Cody, James Gleason and King Baggot.

The exciting world of horse-racing provides the setting for this lively comedy that centers on luckless Bud Doyle, a jockey who was falsely accused of cheating and barred from the track. Desperate for work, the fellow becomes a singing waiter in Tijuana. Eventually he is allowed back and ends up winning the Big Race by encouraging his horse with a few rousing “Whoop-tee-dos” which inspire his charger to run a little faster.

The poster is in very good folded condition.
