An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More)

Lonely Wives, the 1931 Russell Mack pre-Code romantic mistaken-identity comedy farce ("You'll be surprised!"; "From the A.H. Woods stage farce"; about a pair of men who look very much alike, and through a variety of preposterous circumstances, each ends up romancing the other's mate, even to the point of going to bed with them!) starring Edward Everett Horton, Esther Ralston, Laura La Plante, Pasty Ruth Miller, and Spencer Charters. Note that those who know Edward Everett Horton as an odd character actor would be amazed to know he not only played the lead in this romantic comedy, but he played a dual role, with both characters being great lovers!

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a heavy paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except 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.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. Prior to paperbacking, the window card had pinholes, tears, and paper loss around the edges, with creases, smudges, tears, and stains scattered throughout the image. Overall, the window card was in fair condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
