  Auction History Result #068 GHOST SHIP LC #2 '43 Richard Dix Date Sold 10/30/2001Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Theatrical Lobby Card (Measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) The Ghost Ship, the 1943 Mark Robson high seas murder mystery horror thriller ("Story by Leo Mittler"; produced by Val Lewton) starring Richard Dix, Russell Wade, Edith Barrett, Ben Bard, Edmund Glover, Skelton Knaggs (who played a mute but his character narrates the film with an internal voice-over monologue), Lawrence Tierney (uncredited in his third movie role!), and Dewey Robinson. Note that shortly after its theatrical release, producer Val Lewton was sued for plagiarism by a man who said he had sent a script with the same plot to Lewton. Lewton could have settled out of court, but he claimed he never even opened the script, and he decided to fight the case. That proved to be a massive error, because the court ruled against Lewton and The Ghost Ship was withdrawn from circulation, and was unavailable for viewing for the next 50 years, and when it was finally made available, it was ruled to be public domain, so Lewton never received any financial reward from it.

Important Added Info: NOTE: In this case, the #2 in the title of the auction is not the number of the lobby card (whenever we know the number of a lobby card we list it for those of you who know which scenes you are looking for). In this case, the cards from this particular set were un-numbered, but because we are selling more than one card from this set this week as separate eBay auctions, we needed to differentiate the auctions, and we do so by marking them "#2, #3, etc. (Note that we do not use #1, because this is commonly used to signify the title card). Note that this week on eBay we are also offering a title card from this same film as well as a title card from a 1952 version of "Ghost Ship". Condition: very good. There are a few faint scuffs across the image. There is a pinhole in the top center of the image background and one in each blank corner. The card has slightly darkened.
