About the poster:
This poster advertises the film Les carrotiers ("The Core Drillers"), a pseudo-feature film combining the French language versions of two Laurel & Hardy short films, Be Big and Laughing Gravy.
Laurel and Hardy were a comedy duo who successfully transitioned from silent film to sound film and became famous for their slapstick. Foreign-language versions of their films were produced in part by having the English-speaking cast read from phonetic cue cards just off screen, then dubbing their lines with a voice actor fluent in the language. Despite the work that went into these foreign-language versions of the film, many have been lost over the years.
The poster is in good condition, with visible fold lines, one scratch, and some ruffling on the edges. See photos for more details.
