Bataan

Very rare old handbill of the hit Hollywood movie, Bataan (1943) for sale.

This is an actual surviving original vintage handbill of the 1943 war film that starred Robert Taylor in the lead role.

Made by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Bataan was a historic film based on the defense of the Bataan Peninsula during World War II.

Printed and circulated during the original first release run of the film in India (early 1940s), this vintage handbill for sale was actually distributed outside a cinema hall that screened the film and possibly used as a flyer insert in local newspapers.

This old movie handbill features hand painted artwork and was designed and printed for the promotion of the film at an Indian theater (Regal), where it was screened. The dates of release of the film are printed at the bottom of this old movie handbill.
