Auction History Result 4z025 MOON OVER BURMA local theater 17x26 WC '40 Jack Alger art of Dorothy Lamour & Robert Preston! Date Sold 2/18/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Local Theater Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 17 1/4" x 26" [44 x 66 cm]) (Learn More) Moon Over Burma, the 1940 Louis King Asia romantic love triangle jungle melodrama ("Blazing with the fervor of Burma love and crackling with the jungle tempo of thrills!"; "Ready to love or fight... at a moment's notice!"; "Based on a story by Wilson Collison") starring Dorothy Lamour, Robert Preston, Preston Foster, Doris Nolan, and Albert Basserman. Note that the "sarong girl" image that Dorothy Lamour had started a few years earlier was apparently growing old, because in the studio publicity for this movie, she was called the "new" Dorothy Lamour, and they said "Gone are the studied languor, the posing, and the sarong! This time she swaps cracks at every turn with her co-stars and maintains her high reputation as a singer". Also note that when this movie was being filmed, it had two elephants in it that had been used for many movies, named Sally and Queenie. During filming, they were tragically killed in a fire, and the studio needed more footage with an elephant, so they took a different elephant, Duchess, and put paint on her to make her look more like one of the elephants that had passed away!

Artist: Jack Alger Important Added Info: Note that this window card was surely made by a local theater, and not by the studio, because there is no studio information on the card. Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. If it is a size that might ordinarily be rolled in a tube (like a half-sheet), the reason it is in this auction is specifically because we feel it either CAN'T be rolled or because we feel it would be a mistake to roll it, because it might well damage the item. In the case of the few items that could be rolled, we will roll the item in a tube if the new owner insists, but only if they accept that they can't return the item if it is damaged from being rolled. So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. Condition: fair to good. There is staining across the bottom of the card and scattered in the upper left. Learn More about condition grades
