A Set of 8 REPRODUCTION English Front of House Movie Lobby Cards (FOH LCs; 8x10; measure 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]) (Learn More) The Wizard of Oz, the classic 1939 Victor Fleming family magical fantasy adventure musical ("MGM's miracle musical show of shows!"; "It's Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Technicolor triumph!"; "Magnificent in its brilliant Technicolor splendor!"; "At Last It's Here Biggest Sensation Since "Snow White"!"; "The mighty miracle show that is the talk of America!"; "Amazing sights to see! The Tornado, Munchkinland, Horse of a Different Color, Startling Balloon Ascent, The Flying Monkeys, The Tree That Throws Apples"; "Gaiety! Glory! Glamour!"; based on the classic book of the same name by L. Frank Baum; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Judy Garland (as Dorothy), Frank Morgan (in the title role as The Wizard of Oz!), Ray Bolger (as The Scarecrow), Bert Lahr (as The Cowardly Lion), Jack Haley (as The Tin Man), Billie Burke (as Glinda, the Good Witch), Margaret Hamilton (as the Wicked Witch), Charley Grapewin, "The Munchkins", and Toto too! Note that MGM was worried about how well this movie would do at the box office, and they did something we don't remember seeing on any other major movie advertising! One of the taglines says "Biggest sensation since Snow White", which means MGM was advertising a Walt Disney movie, but that shows just how worried they were! Of course, they needn't have worried, because this was a timeless classic that has only improved with age. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that at some point in the past ten to twenty years, some major English collector had reproductions made of sets of English front of house lobby cards. We have never auctioned any of these before, and we suspect that only a limited amount were made, but we really don't know. From the front, they look very much like original front of house lobby sets, but they are printed on a pure white paper, and when you turn them over, it is very obvious that they are reproductions, because of the white backs. We are auctioning these so that collectors who could never find (or possibly afford) the original sets can purchase these exact reproductions, but obviously, we don't want anyone who buys them from us to try to resell them as originals (but as we say, that is unlikely, because of the pure white backs). We only have one of each set, and we are offering 22 different REPRODUCTION sets, in 22 different auctions. Condition: very good to fine. These REPRODUCTION English front of house lobby cards are in excellent condition! Learn More about condition grades
