An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 18" [36 x 46 cm]) (Learn More) Fanny Hurst's Symphony of Six Million, the 1932 Gregory La Cava New York City Jewish medical doctor hospital melodrama ("As big as life... As powerful as love!"; "'Humoresque' of the Talkies"; "DRAMA rooted deep in the hopes.. Fears.. Loves and ambitions of humanity.. Written by the golden pen of Fannie Hurst whose immortal 'Humoresque' it surpasses!"; "Fannie Hurst's gifted genius pens the immortal rhapsody of the talkies, finer than her 'humoresque'!"; "The greatest test love ever faced... in the genius of a surgeon's hands lay the life of the woman he loved!"; "Man's miracle city tells it's story!"; "It's loves.. fears.. heartbreak and glamour.. struck from stone and steel.. given life in the pulsing heart of six millions!"; based on the story by Fanny Hurst; produced by David O. Selznick; about a young Jewish man in New York City who comes from a poor immigrant family, and he goes to medical school and starts a clinic for poor immigrants, but then his brother convinces him to become a fancy Park Avenue doctor, and he does so, and acquires a beautiful non-Jewish girlfriend, which alienates his family, but then a family crisis causes him to become a broken man!) starring Irene Dunne, Ricardo Cortez, Anna Appel, Gregory Ratoff, and Noel Madison. Note that Irene Dunne was a bigger star than Ricardo Cortez, so she was billed over him on the poster, but Cortez was the main focus of the movie. Since he himself was Jewish (although he had been passed off by Paramount as Hispanic, so that he could be another Valentino!), this movie no doubt hit very close to home with him!

Important Added Info: The window card originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this was commonly done with window cards, when the top had been left blank, or when someone had hand-scrawled play date information in that area). Most collectors do not consider it to be a significant defect at all, since only blank white paper is lost, and the window card becomes easier to frame. Condition: fair to good. The blank top of the card was trimmed off. It was taped to a frame and there are tape stains on the back of the borders. There are stains in the left of the top border and in the lower half of the right border, extending into Cortez's face. There are tears around the edges of the card, and someone put clear tape on the back of several of them. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored. Learn More about condition grades
