Original 1943 Prelude to War Movie Poster, World War II, Frank Capra, W. Huston

Description

This is a beautiful original movie poster for the 1942 documentary film, Prelude To War.  The poster was acquired from a theater in Broken Bow, Nebraska a couple of decades ago. On the back of the poster, in pencil, was written: Thursday & Friday, Sept. 16-17 and "Alamo," and another notation of Sept. 7-8, Tuesday - Wednesday. I assume that was when, and at which theater where it was to play.
The movie was directed by Frank Capra, narrated by Walter Huston.
It features dramatic artwork and is captioned "The U.S. Government Puts The Finger on the United Nations' Enemies."
iMDB says it was "The official World War II US Government film statement defining the various enemies of the Allies and why they must be fought."  Soldiers were required to see it before deployment, apparently to help convince them of the evility of the enemy they would be fighting.  The film was then released to the public for movie theater viewing, and is considered an important piece of home front propaganda to gain support for the war among the American public.
It features some clips from the "German Triumph of the Will" film, but with the agenda of showing the Nazis as the enemy. Mussolini and other enemies are listed in the cast on iMDB as playing themselves, via archive footage.
This film was produced by the Special Service Division, Army Services, War Department, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Signal Corps. Released through the Office of War Information, Bureau of Motion Pictures.  #43/242 and 24469 in the bottom margin.
The poster notes that it won a special Academy Award, and shows the Oscar statue.
