HOTEL FOR WOMEN

One Sheet (27" x 41")
Very Fine on Linen; Artwork by McClelland Barclay
20th Century Fox, 1939

This outstanding one sheet showcases a stunning pin-up illustration by the talented McClelland Barclay. He was a well-known illustrator whose work graced many magazine covers in the 1920s and 30s. He perished in WWII.

There have been some touch-ups to the borders, repairs of small chips and tears, and there is sporadic airbrushing to the borders.

Linda Darnell makes her big screen debut in this story of a girl who goes to New York to marry her boyfriend, only to find that he's lost interest in her. This leads her to pursue a career as a model while staying in a hotel for women, one of many that thrived in the 1930s when single girls needed a safe and secure place to live in the big city.
