Date Sold 4/2/2019Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Louisiana Purchase, the 1941 Irving Cummings political corruption musical comedy ("The greatest musical comedy ever filmed in Technicolor!"; "The greatest musical comedy ever filmed with 100 Louisiana lovelies!"; "Based on the Musical Comedy by Morrie Ryskind From a small story by B.G. De Sylva"; "Music and Lyrics by Irving Berlin"; "From a story by B.G. De Sylva"; about a naive man who is picked by corrupt Louisiana politicians to take the fall for crimes they've committed) starring Bob Hope, Vera Zorina, Victor Moore, Irene Bordoni, Dona Drake, Raymond Walburn, and "Those Louisiana Lovelies - The Cream of the Crop!" (referred to as "The 13 Louisiana Belles" in other publicity). Note that Paramount was afraid of lawsuits from real life Louisiana politicians, so they made significant changes from the Broadway play the movie was based on, and they even had many references in the movie to the fact that the "Louisiana" referred to was a mythical place, and not the actual Louisiana!

Important Added Info: Note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. We are doing something in this set of auctions we rarely do! A couple of years ago, we were approached by a very long time collector, and he asked us if he could give us an entire auction of single lobby cards by himself. We agreed, and held that auction in 2017, and later that same year, a different collector sent us a different group of 999 lobby cards and we repeated the process. Now we have a third such "single owner" collection. This one was originally assembled in Australia, which is why some of the cards have either Australian paper snipes attached or Australian ratings stamps (but many do not have them). This collection originally contained 1,100 cards, and we auctioned 100 of them in our March Major Auction, and now we are auctioning the remaining 999 in THIS set of auctions, and after this auction, there will be no more cards to be offered. As will immediately be evident when you look at the cards, many of them are from titles where you almost never see any lobby cards, so this is a rare opportunity to acquire many cards that almost never are offered for sale or at auction! Condition: fair to good. The card was used in Australia and there is a faint Australian rating stamp in the top right corner. There are many stains scattered on the card, more so around the edges. See our super-sized images to get a good sense of the condition of this card. 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. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
