I'll Tell the World

Leslie Goodwins (director)
Henry Blankfort, Lester Pine (screenwriters)
Nathanael West (novel)
Lee Tracy, Brenda Joyce, Thomas Gomez (starring)

Universal City, CA: Universal Pictures, 1945. Vintage US half sheet poster for the 1945 film. Remake of the 1934 Universal film "Advice to the Lovelorn," that also starred Lee Tracy. Both films were based on West's novel, "Miss Lonelyhearts."

Lee Tracy plays a radio announcer born with the inability to shut up, both a blessing (in terms of finding fame in the radio business) and a curse (in terms of constantly talking over his singer girlfriend while she is performing). He is eventually demoted to the position of writing a newspaper column for the lovelorn.

22 x 28 inches, folded. Very Good plus.
