Among the posters on this board, this one stands out for its tagline, "and then they dance!", which promotes the musical numbers rather than the plot. It names Frank Sinatra, Lucille Bremer, and Van Johnson, the three performers listed in its record. *Till the Clouds Roll By* was an MGM film from 1946 that dramatized the life and songs of composer Jerome Kern, and the studio built its advertising around its large cast of singers and dancers. Posters like this one, printed around 1945 ahead of the release, were meant to draw audiences to the film's song-and-dance spectacle.
