Auction History Result 8a045 CASE OF THE CURIOUS BRIDE LC 1935 Allen Jenkins awakened, Erle Stanley Gardner's Perry Mason! Date Sold 8/4/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Case of the Curious Bride, the 1935 Michael Curtiz courtroom lawyer legal crime mystery thriller (based on the Perry Mason series of books by Erle Stanley Gardner) starring Warren William (as Perry Mason), Margaret Lindsay, Donald Woods, Claire Dodd (as Della Street), Allen Jenkins, Philip Reed, and Errol Flynn (in a bit part). Note that Warner Bros. purchased the rights to these characters in 1934, and the first movie in the series was "The Case of the Howling Dog" starring Warren William. There were three more Perry Mason movies that Warren William starred in (oddly, a different actress played Della Street in each of the four films). Also, in this movie, Donald Woods played a minor character, but in 1937, he would get to play Perry Mason! Allen Jenkins had played Perry Mason's adversary in the very first Perry Mason movie, "The Case of the Howling Dog", but here he plays "Spudsy", who is a comic detective, replacing Paul Drake from the books (and he repeated this role in the next movie). Finally, Errol Flynn plays a corpse on a slab earlier in this movie, and then late in the movie, he is in a two-minute flashback scene, and this is one of his first real roles! There were two other movies in the 1930s with other actors in the lead role (Ricardo Cortez and Donald Woods), and then of course, there was the classic TV show from 1957 to 1966 with Raymond Burr playing Perry Mason.

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. The card was likely found under a floor, because it had a great deal of staining on the front and back. Some talented restorer was able to remove most of the staining from the front, but you can see some stains and scuffs on the front of the card when looking at it straight on, and more so when you tilt it to the light. There are also greater stains in the blank borders, and there is a small circular hole at top center. There is a small piece of tape over a tear in the left of the top border. Please bear in mind this card's defects and look at our super-sized image before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
