Auction History Result 3m0150 MOON OVER MIAMI mini WC 1941 different art of sexy Betty Grable in swimsuit with ball, rare! Date Sold 2/23/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Mini Movie Window Card (WC; measures 8" x 14" [20 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Moon Over Miami, the 1941 Walter Lang Florida Everglades romantic musical ("Adaptation by George Seaton and Lynn Starling from a play by Stephen Powys"; "Lyrics and Music by Leo Robin & Ralph Rainger"; about two Texas girls losing an inheritance because of taxes and they travel to Miami to find rich husbands) starring Don Ameche, Betty Grable, Robert Cummings (Bob Cummings), Charlotte Greenwood, Jack Haley, Carole Landis, Cobina Wright Jr., Fortunio Bonanova, and Jack Cole. Note that Alberto Vargas did the artwork for the cover of the pressbook and the 24-sheet only on this movie, and both bear his signature. The pressbook explains that Vargas was commissioned to paint this image. Nowhere does it state that he did any of the other art for the movie, even though one of the one-sheets and the insert are often described as being Vargas art. It is my opinion that they are NOT drawn by Vargas, and certainly the pressbook backs that up. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this mini window card, and that was 10 years ago, when it sold for $398! Condition: very good. The top blank area was folded back at one time prior to the snipe being attached, and it was partially separating on that fold, and someone put acid-free tape on the back of that area. The card also has a diagonal crease in the bottom left corner and tiny surface paper loss in two areas in the left blank border. Otherwise, the card is in pretty nice condition (see our images).
