Martin"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; a pretty wacky story of a man whose fiancee was killed by her insanely jealous ex-boyfriend on their wedding day, and years later, the man is now in charge of his niece, who looks exactly like his fiancee, and she is engaged to marry a man who looks exactly like the man who killed his fiancee, and naturally, he does all he can to break them up!) starring Norma Shearer (in a dual role), Fredric March (in a dual role), Leslie Howard, O.P. Heggie, Ralph Forbes, and Beryl Mercer NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the lobby card was backed onto a very light paper backing (acid-free), that keeps the "feel" of the lobby card similar to that of the original lobby card. Some restorers prefer to paperback lobby cards on to a heavy backing, while others prefer to use a very lightweight backing. The advantage of a lightweight backing is that the card still "feels" like a regular lobby card, but a heavier backing makes restoration easier to do and less noticeable. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: poor. Prior to paperbacking, the card had pinholes, tears, and areas of paper loss around the edges and some stains scattered in the image, including several in both stars' faces, more so in Shearer's face. Overall, the lobby card was in fair condition prior to paperbacking. The restorer did not do a very good job, for you can clearly tell the card is restored, especially in Shearer's face. Please do not bid on this card unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored! Learn More about condition grades
