HYDE 8 LCs 1941 Fleming, Spencer Tracy, Bergman & Turner, rare complete set! Date Sold 4/19/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 8 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the classic 1941 Victor Fleming romantic love triangle horror thriller ("A good woman -- A bad woman -- He needed the love of both!"; "He wanted excitement... yet he dared not admit it to himself. He yearned for secret romance... but he hid his desires from his beautiful young fiancee. Then his dreams became reality... and thrilling drama flooded his lie."; "Based on the novel by Robert Louis Stevenson") starring Spencer Tracy (in the title role as Dr. Henry Jekyll/Mr. Hyde), Ingrid Bergman, Lana Turner, Donald Crisp, Ian Hunter, Barton MacLane, and C. Aubrey Smith. Note that this movie was a remake of the 1920 silent movie with John Barrymore, and also a remake of the 1931 sound version with Fredric March. Not only were March and Tracy Best Actor Oscar winners, but they also much later played opposite each other in the courtroom drama, "Inherit the Wind". Also note that it appears that MGM was somewhat shy about presenting this movie as a horror movie, because unlike the earlier versions, both of which were from Paramount Pictures, MGM not only did not push the horror elements of this movie in their advertising, but they also barely showed Tracy as Hyde in any of their publicity material! Finally, note that based on their previous roles each actress had taken, it would have seemed much more reasonable to have Lana Turner play the "bad" woman and have Ingrid Bergman play Dr. Jekyll's noble girlfriend, but the two took the opposite roles, and both did admirably! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is the first time we have ever auctioned a complete set of lobby cards from the first release of this movie! Note also that one of the lobby cards (see our image) has been overprinted with the following in the bottom border: "CENSORSHIP WARNING : STARK DRAMA - SUITABLE ONLY FOR ADULTS". We have only seen this overprinting once before. I think it is a cool addition to the card! Condition: good to very good. Some of the cards have pinholes around the edges and/or light scuff marks and smudges, typical of vintage lobby cards that were likely displayed at a theater. The title card has drip stains scattered in various areas (see our image - it is in "good" condition). The card with Bergman counting money has a 3" tear at center right that has been repaired with tape from the back and a lesser tear at left. There are a few red smudges at upper left. The card with the police officer at center has a few light scuff marks scattered in various areas and a few border defects. The card below it (with the censor warning - see above) has a small tear at lower center that has been repaired with tape from the back and a few creases around the edges. The rare complete set is otherwise in pretty nice condition, and the cards have not had any restoration of any kind! Learn More about condition grades
