An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 17" [36 x 43 cm]) (Learn More) The Gay Bride, the 1934 Jack Conway romantic wedding gangster crime screwball comedy ("Wanted... a husband with a million dollars!"; a wacky story of a chorus girl who becomes the girlfriend of a top gangster, and she manipulates him into both marriage and leaving her his assets, but that backfires when she inherits his debts after he is killed, and she runs through two more men before finding true love with the gangster's best friend, who convinces her to "go straight") starring Carole Lombard, Chester Morris, Zasu Pitts, Leo Carrillo, Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson, and Nat Pendleton NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this window card, and that was 20 years ago! Note that it looks like the left, right, and bottom borders might have been trimmed, but actually, they were printed with a "full bleed", something MGM was doing at the time, which means there were no white borders when the card was printed (although the top blank area has been neatly trimmed off). The card now measures 14" x 17" [36 x 43 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: good. The blank top was trimmed off. It looks like the card might have been trimmed on the other three sides, because there are no blank borders, but this is what MGM did at this time (see above). There is paper loss in the bottom corners and some tiny areas of paper loss in the rest of the borders, with surface paper loss in Lombard's cheek at lower left and in the elbow at upper right, with some surface paper loss in the background below that. Obviously, this extremely rare card can be restored, but bear in mind its condition and the cost of restoration before bidding. Learn More about condition grades
