Description

WE'VE NEVER BEEN LICKED Original Universal Pictures Style D One Sheet Poster (27x41). Linen-Backed. Very Fine.
Original Universal Pictures Style D One Sheet Poster (27x41) for the John Rawlins war drama, WE'VE NEVER BEEN LICKED (1943) starring Richard Quine, Noah Beery Jr., Anne Gwynne, and a young Robert Mitchum (only in the second year of his film career). Much of the movie was filmed on the Texas A&M campus in College Station, Texas. The scenes of life in the Corps of Cadets, the mascot Reveille, and the "Aggie War Hymm" played by the Fighting Aggies Marching Band are all extremely interesting as an example of what life was like on the campus in the early forties. Indeed, for many years after the film was made Aggie Cinema would show the film to every incoming freshman class at the outdoor cinema, The Grove. The blatant anti-Japanese message now categorizes this film as war propaganda, but you also have to remember that the attack on Pearl Harbor was still fresh in the audience's mind. Robert Mitchum supposedly hated his performance so much that he bought as many of the existing prints as possible and burned them. Arch rivals at The University of Texas refer to this film as We've Never Been LIKED! This original style D one sheet poster is linen-backed and in very fine condition.
