Group of Vintage Jackie Gleason-Related Film Posters (1941-1950). Group of (5) vintage original film posters from the 1940s, comprising films featuring or starring Jackie Gleason, including (1) 27"x 41" one sheet for Navy Blues (Warner Bros., 1941), retaining original studio stamp to verso reading "NAVY BLUES / WARNER FIRST NAT'L 1 SH", (1) 27" x 41" one sheet for Tramp, Tramp, Tramp (Columbia, 1942), (1) 27" x 41" one sheet for Escape from Crime (Warner Bros., 1942), retaining original studio stamp to verso reading "ESCAPE FROM CRIME / WARNER FIRST NAT'L 1 SH", (1) 27" x 41" one sheet for The Desert Hawk (Universal, 1950), retaining original studio stamp to verso reading "1A DESERT HAWK 50/519", and (1) 14" x 36" inset poster for The Desert Hawk featuring an alternate design. These posters represent films featuring Jackie Gleason's earliest on-screen performances, as he made the leap from nightclubs to the big screen, before finding his groove in the sketch comedy television programs that would define his career. This group represents, as well, the popular types of films that studios were distributing in spades during the 1940s, from gritty film noir like Escape from Crime to patriotic musical comedies like Navy Blues to exotic adventure films like The Desert Hawk. Posters are folded and exhibit expected signs of age and wear, including pinholes, foxing, creases, folding tears, chips and perimeter edgewear, tape residue, and handwriting to verso. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions. From The Stewart Berkowitz Television Treasures Collection.
