An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) The Merry Widow, the 1934 Ernst Lubitsch romantic musical comedy ("The world's greatest spectacle of music, love and laughter!"; written by Samson Raphaelson; based on book and lyrics by Victor Leon & Leo Stein and music by Franz Lehar, from his 1905 operetta; about a mythical tiny country in Europe, and their richest citizen, a widow, goes to Paris, and the king of the country is afraid she will never come back, so he sends the country's greatest lover to try to marry her and keep her in their country!) starring Maurice Chevalier, Jeanette MacDonald, Edward Everett Horton, Sterling Holloway, Una Merkel, George Barbier, and Minna Gombell. Note that there was a 1925 silent version of this musical (a neat trick!) directed by Erich Von Stroheim, and a 1952 version starring Fernando Lamas and a non-singing Lana Turner (whose singing voice was dubbed)! 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 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). 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: fair to good. The card has much staining scattered throughout, and a tiny piece of paper loss in the left of the bottom blank border. In spite of all these defects, the card could be displayed as it is (although the defects are very clearly evident), and certainly, it can be restored, but please read our description above and look at our super-sized image before placing a bid on this card.
