An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Double or Nothing, the 1937 Theodore Reed gambling inheritance musical screwball comedy ("Everything's doubled!"; "Based on a story by M. Coates Webster"; a wacky story of an eccentric recently deceased millionaire who, in his will, leaves instructions for 25 wallets to be scattered around the city, each with $100, and a lawyer's business card; only four people are honest enough to return the money, and those four are told that they will each be given $5,000, and they have to quickly try to double it through honest means, and the first one who can do so inherits the dead man's fortune, and if none of them can do it in a set time, the dead man's brother inherits everything, so naturally he wants to do everything he can to prevent them from doubling the money) starring Bing Crosby, Martha Raye, Andy Devine, Mary Carlisle, William Frawley, Fay Holden, Samuel S. Hinds, William Henry, and Benny Baker. Note that this is a very unusual movie in that it had a substantial plot that could have carried the movie on its own, but it was more a backdrop for the many songs scattered throughout. Also note that Samuel S. Hinds, who would later play James Stewart's brother in It's a Wonderful Life, plays the unscrupulous brother of the dead millionaire, and reviews say he did a good job! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that there is a stamp on the back that reads "FROM THE COLLECTION OF Michael R. Hawks", who most would consider the premier lobby card collector and expert in the world (and he is still an active collector, looking for the last few items he needs!). Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: very good. The still has slightly darkened in parts of the borders. Otherwise, the card is in nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
