An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Scandal Sheet, the 1931 John Cromwell romantic love triangle newspaper yellow journalism crime murder thriller ("Editor's wife caught in Love Nest Raid"; a truly wild story of the publisher of a newspaper who is "married" to his work, but he is also married to beautiful Kay Francis, who he adores, but he also ignores, and that leads her into the arms of suave banker Clive Brook, and when Bancroft, who works so hard he is oblivious to it, learns of her infidelity, he shoots Brook and then returns to his office and writes the story for his newspaper before turning himself in; the movie SHOULD have ended there, but apparently the studio demanded a "happy" ending, and they added a wacky final section where Bancroft is in prison for life, but happily running the prison newspaper!) starring George Bancroft, Clive Brook, Kay Francis, Regis Toomey, Lucien Littlefield, and Gilbert Emery. Note that people who have seen this movie say that it is well made and very enjoyable and that Kay Francis delivers a great (and sexy) pre-Code performance, and that it definitely should be seen!

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: fair. The window card had a large piece missing from the lower right corner and a small piece missing from the bottom left corner. Someone took pieces from another window card and taped them to the back of those two areas, and then they recreated the missing area in the lower right (they did an accurate job, but you can clearly see that it is not what was originally there. There are some scattered dot water stains throughout the card. There is a 5" jagged tear in the middle of the right border that has tape on the back of it. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored! Learn More about condition grades
