Date Sold 11/27/2016Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) The Miracle of Morgan's Creek, the classic 1944 Preston Sturges romantic pregnancy screwball comedy ("Here's the Funniest Picture Ever Made!"; "Famous comics say... The funniest picture ever!"; "The True Story of Trudy Kockenlocker who kissed the Boys Goodbye... Regiment By Regiment"; "Bob Hope says... 'The best film I ever tasted- I ate it up!'"; "In Paramount's Miracle of Mirth!") starring Eddie Bracken ("The miracle man who rocked the world - with laughter!"), Betty Hutton, Diana Lynn, William Demarest, Porter Hall, Brian Donlevy (billed as "McGinty", which is a reference to the role he played in Sturges' earlier hit The Great McGinty), Akim Tamiroff (billed as "The Boss", which is a reference to the role he played in Sturges' earlier hit The Great McGinty), and Frank Moran. I don't recall EVER seeing an actor billed in a movie where his name is left off of the poster entirely! I suppose Sturges thought this was very funny, and likely Donlevy and Tamiroff agreed to do it because he asked them! 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 this window card is incredibly rare! We have never auctioned it before. Obviously, one would much prefer to find one without the major condition defects this one has, but it might be many years before another example is offered! Also note that 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: poor. The card was glued to the back of something (likely used as a backing board!) and there is residue over the entire surface of the card, with small surface paper loss in the lower right credits area. Obviously, a restorer can greatly improve the appearance of this card, but we don't know how difficult or expensive that would be, so please do not bid on this card unless you are willing to accept the expenses and difficulties involved in having it restored.
