Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 61<\/h3>\n

First off, I apologize for the poor quality of this photo, which was taken around 2002 with a really early digital camera. For those of you in the know (or not), a 3-sheet measures 41″x 81″, so I was probably standing on a chair when I took this and attempting to shoot the photo before my dearly departed Thelma Kitty ran into the shot.<\/p>\n

I’m pretty sure this We Who Are About to Die<\/strong><\/a> poster was the first 3 sheet I ever owned, and I think I paid over $100 for it, which was a tidy some in those grad school days. I love this poster since it has a giant Ann Dvorak head, though it is disappointing that Preston Foster did not make it onto the artwork. One thing I should point out about my particular copy is that it is mounted on craft paper and looks like someone used it as a drop cloth for painting at one point. Some movie posters just can’t get any respect!<\/p>\n

I guess with today’s vastly improved technology, I could drag out this poster and take another photo of it. Since I am barely keeping up with this one-a-day commitment, it probably won’t happen any time soon, so try to enjoy this gorgeous 1937 poster and early example of crappy digital photography.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
