An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Night Court, the 1932 W.S. Van Dyke crooked judge courtroom legal lawyer crime murder thriller ("A real thrill ahead!"; "I am innocent... I never saw the man in my life!"; "This true-life story by Mark Hellinger and Charles Beahan brings a new, vital, throbbing idea to the screen! A tender love story, a mighty entertainment!"; about an all powerful crooked judge who uses his power to control and torment many innocent people, and a young couple whose life is ruined by the judge) starring Phillips Holmes, Walter Huston (as the crooked judge, and he is pretty much a cartoon villain!), Anita Page, Lewis Stone, Jean Hersholt, and Tully Marshall. Note that Phillips Holmes had made an impression in some movies in the late 1920s. In 1931, he would get the lead in the first version of "An American Tragedy", which made it seem like he would become a major star, but that didn't materialize. He had a major affair with Libby Holman, but that was certainly complicated, and when they broke up, she immediately married his brother! Oddly, years later, Holman would have another very complicated affair with Montgomery Clift, who played the same part in the remake of "An American Tragedy", retitled "A Place in the Sun". Sadly, Holmes died in a plane crash in 1942. I am very surprised no one has made a movie about his life, or a joint movie about him and Libby Holman! 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 the card measures very slightly under 14" x 22" (an extremely tiny amount in each direction!) and has next-to-no left, right, or bottom blank borders, but it has NOT been trimmed (this was done at a time when MGM was experimenting with having as few borders as possible). This window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good to very good. There is a 4" diagonal tear in the upper left, with creases to the left of it (the tear is repaired with tape from the back). Learn More about condition grades
