An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 21 3/4" [36 x 55 cm]) (Learn More) Dancing Lady, the 1933 Robert Z. Leonard romantic love triangle stage acting dancing musical comedy ("The new sensational musical romance!"; Crawford is an actress in a low class dance show, and she gets arrested, and rich Tone gets her a better job, but Gable, who runs that show, falls for her; Healy is Gable's assistant and Fred Astaire and Nelson Eddy appear as themselves) starring Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Franchot Tone, May Robson, Winnie Lightner, Fred Astaire (without Ginger Rogers!), Robert Benchley, Ted Healy and his Stooges (Moe Howard, Curly Howard, Larry Fine; his "stooges" would soon form their own act and become immortal as "The Three Stooges"), Sterling Holloway, and Nelson Eddy. Note that this was Fred Astaire's very first movie, which means that Joan Crawford was his first movie dance partner (and it was also the first movie where he wore a top hat and tails!).

Important Added Info: Note that first release 1933 movie posters from this Joan Crawford/Clark Gable movie are incredibly rare. We have only auctioned a single one-sheet and two other examples of this window card (but only one in the last 16 years) until we received this third example of this great window card! Note that MGM was so taken with Crawford and Gable at this time that they did not picture either Fred Astaire or "Ted Healy and his Stooges", soon to be better known as "The Three Stooges", although both are prominently billed. Of course, not long after this movie was made, Fred Astaire went on to a long successful career at RKO, and The Three Stooges had great success at Columbia! Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 21 3/4" [36 x 55 cm]. Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: fair. The card has three very major defects. There is a 2" circular hole cut from the lower part of Joan Crawford's body and the entire right 3" of the card is separated from the rest of the card. There are also some nail holes scattered in the card. The coloring of this card is much lighter than the other example of the card we have auctioned, suggesting it is faded, but the other card was restored, and it is possible that one had its colors enhanced. Obviously, a talented professional can restore this card (and we can provide an image of a complete card), but please bear in mind its substantial defects before bidding on it.
