BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! PRC Pictures Danger! Women at Work (1943) Original One-Sheet Movie Poster This is an authentic theatrical one-sheet movie poster for the 1943 PRC Pictures (Producers Releasing Corporation) production “Danger! Women at Work.” Directed by Sam Newfield and produced by Jack Schwarz, the film features a prominent female ensemble cast including Patsy Kelly, Mary Brian, Isabel Jewell, Wanda McKay, Betty Compson, and Cobina Wright, Sr. This original poster serves as a significant piece of 1940s “B-movie” ephemera. Authentication is established by the National Screen Service (NSS) number 43/311 printed in the lower-left corner. The item features exceptional provenance documentation on the reverse, including three distinct ink stamps for the “Independent Poster Exch.” located at 1323 Vine St., Philadelphia, PA. The reverse also includes a hand-written identification of the film title and a large inventory number “5693,” providing a clear chain of historical theatrical distribution.
Condition report:
The poster is in poor to fair vintage condition, exhibiting significant signs of age and theatrical use. It is factory-folded with heavy creasing and wear along the horizontal and vertical fold lines, with numerous secondary creases throughout the field. Visible foxing, water staining, and general surface soiling are present on both the front and back. The reverse shows extensive darkening and age-related discoloration. Physical damage includes several small tears along the margins and a visible tack hole in the lower-right orange border. Multiple pieces of old brown adhesive tape are present on the reverse, likely from past repairs or mounting. This item is a strong candidate for professional linen-backing and restoration.
