Item Number: P-GRANDMAS-3S

Vintage original 41 x 81 in. (104.1 x 205.7 cm.) U.S. three-sheet poster, stone lithograph, unbacked/unrestored (in two sections and folded as originally issued), near-fine condition.
Produced by comedy legend Hal Roach, Grandma's Boy was originally intended as a serious film and the flashback sequences set during the Civil War were actually the original short film which Lloyd then altered into a comedy by adding various gag sequences. As such, Grandma's Boy became Harold Lloyd's first 5-reel feature-length film and marks an important milestone in his long and illustrious career. The image on this wonderful original release three-sheet poster features one of the film's key scenes as Grandma (Anna Townsend) asks her grandson (Harold Lloyd) to evict the Tramp (Dick Sutherland) from her backyard. The Tramp has made himself comfortable as he defiantly sits in Grandma's wicker chair and reads her newspaper while the two stand behind him. Lloyd's character, unfortunately, lacks the courage to deal with the Tramp, which then forms the basis for the rest of the film's storyline.
This three-sheet poster is in its original unbacked, unrestored condition. It consists of two separate panels which are folded as when it was originally issued to theatres. It is in near-fine condition.
Grandma's Boy; Associated Exhibitors; 1922; prod: Hal Roach; dir: Fred C. Newmeyer; cast: Harold Lloyd, Mildred Davis (later Mrs. Harold Lloyd), Anna Townsend, Charles Stevenson, Dick Sutherland, Noah Young, Roy Brooks, Sammy Brooks.
