An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Lady of the Tropics, the 1939 Jack Conway French Indochina interracial romantic love triangle melodrama ("The picture you've been waiting for!"; "Screen Play by Ben Hecht"; about a rich American playboy who goes to Saigon and meets a beautiful half-Asian woman, and he loves her, but can't convince her to leave the country, because she fears her mixed ancestry will cause problems in the United States) starring Robert Taylor, Hedy Lamarr, Joseph Schildkraut, Gloria Franklin, and Ernest Cossart NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. 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. What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: very good. The card had tiny staple holes in the corners, with paper loss in the bottom right blank corner, caused by rough removal of the staple, and a tiny pair of staple holes in the upper left, in Taylor's collar. Overall, the card was in good to very good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material) and they then performed excellent restoration to the corner defects, but they left alone the tiny pair of staple holes in Taylor's collar, and then removed the gel backing, so that the card still exactly looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. You can see the tiny staple holes in Taylor's collar, but otherwise, you can't see the restoration at all, and the card displays really well! Learn More about condition grades
