An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More)

Lightnin', the 1930 Henry King family relationship hotel owners comedy ("From the stage success produced by John Golden"; "Play by Winchell Smith and Frank Bacoi"; about a husband and wife that own a hotel that is built on the border between California and Nevada, so divorcing wives can stay in the Nevada half; the husband is super slow moving and is sarcastically nicknamed "Lightnin'", and there are multiple subplots, including crooks trying to buy out the hotel, and a lawyer who is in trouble in Nevada so he lives in the California half of the hotel; the movie closes with a sensational courtroom scene where Rogers must clear his name and also convince his wife that she is still in love with him!) starring Will Rogers, Louise Dresser, Joel McCrea (in his third credited role!), Jason Robards Sr., Helen Cohan and Rex Bell. Note that this is a remake of a 1925 silent movie directed by John Ford!

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards.

Condition: very good. The poster had nail holes in the corners and some creases, smudges, and light stains around the edges, and some smudges in the solid colored areas. There was a nail hole near the center of the card in Rogers' hair. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was well backed, because you can see slight signs of the restoration of the above defects, but from any reasonable viewing distance, they are not very distracting, and the poster does not have a "restored" look.
