Description: Orig. 1943 Movie Publicity Poster; Mickey Rooney in 'The Human Comedy'; MGM Picture Such a fun find! Estate purchase of closed up old theater. Several unique original movie publicity posters with War time sentiments. This one is for the 1940's film THE HUMAN COMEDY. Caricature of the actor Mickey Rooney on one side. The other shows a letter to the Exhibitor, Movie theater from MGM. Reading it, makes me think this is a sad and important movie for the era. One I haven't seen yet but now may have to. Release date -- March 2, 1943 Starring: Mickey Rooney, Frank Morgan Based on novel by William Saroyan Directed by Clarence Brown The film is the story of a teenaged Homer Macauley in high school, working part-time as a telegram delivery boy, in the fictional town of Ithaca, California, during World War II. The effects of the war on the "Home Front" over a year in Homer's life are depicted in a series of perceptive vignettes—some amusing, some grave, some ugly, some touching, some sentimental—involving himself, his family, friends and neighbors in his California hometown, and his brother Marcus, a Private in the U.S. Army. The storyline is introduced and directed by a narrator, Homer's father, who has been dead for two years. Approx. measurements: 9.25 x 12.25 inches 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. This is in very good condition. Shows some mild bumped corners. The upper right corner is crease at the tip. Excellent for the Movie buff or fan of the Actors. Original Publicity poster, not a reproduction. Marked Litho U.S.A.
