An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Palm Beach Story, the classic 1942 Preston Sturges Florida screwball romantic love triangle comedy ("What a life for a runaway wife!"; perhaps Sturges' best; about a husband and wife who pretend they are not married so that the wife can romance a millionaire, and the millionaire's sister romances the husband, and things get extremely confused, and extremely funny!; this is one of Preston Sturges' best movies, and a highlight is the scene where Colbert and McCrea try to keep from getting back together, but Vallee unwittingly causes that to happen with his wonderful rendition of "Goodnight Sweetheart") starring Claudette Colbert, Joel McCrea, Mary Astor, Rudy Vallee, William Demarest, and Monte Blue. Note that Preston Sturges wanted this movie called "Is Marriage Necessary?", but the Production Code Office vetoed that! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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: good to very good. The card had pinholes, smudges, and some tiny stains around the edges. It had a 1" tear in the top border. Overall, the card was in good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material) and they then performed restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, so that the card still exactly looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. You can see signs of the restoration in the blank white border areas, but the card displays well! Learn More about condition grades
