    RARE Belgian Original First Release Movie Poster -
    The Dancing Masters
    (1943),
    Stan Laurel
    , Oliver Hardy, Trudy Marshall, Robert Bailey, Matt Briggs
    , Margaret Dumont, Allan Lane, Robert Mitchum, Malcolm St. Clair, 20th Century Fox Comedy
    Here is a rare and beautiful original Belgian movie poster from the first release of one of Laurel and Hardy's final films,
    The Dancing Masters
    . In this movie Stan and Ollie play two bumbling dance instructors who help an awkward inventor sell his new invention and facilitate his romance with a pretty socialite.
    This poster is from the 1st release of the film in Belgium shortly after the end of WWII, probably 1946, since it is printed on the reverse of a wartime ordnance map. It is also printed in the smaller immediate post-war format in order to conserve paper which was in very short supply.
    The wonderful artwork is unique to this Belgian release poster which seldom (if ever) comes up for sale or auction. This is the only copy of this poster that i have ever seen.
