Note that this movie featured sensational "special effects" for its day, and had several wonderful sequences that looked like they required the building of massive sets, yet in most cases, matte paintings created the illusion of those massive sets!

Important Added Info: Note that when this classic movie was released in 1940, the people who picked the lobby card scenes did not know how memorable Conrad Veidt's performance was, and he is only on one scene lobby card, and that is from the back! This great card from the 1947 re-release, which is in full color, has a wonderful close up of Conrad Veidt and June Duprez, which of course is not in the original set. Also 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. Condition: good to very good. The card has a slightly diagonal scratch in the bottom center of the image, fortunately in the background between the stars. There is surface paper loss at the bottom of the scratch. There is a crease under it that continues to the bottom border. There is a 1" tear to the right of the bottom of the crease that has creases and tiny stains next to it, and those defects extend into the very bottom of the "TE" above it. There are creases in the top blank border and a faint 2" horizontal crease in Duprez's hair to the left of her ear. There is another faint crease in the bottom of her hair. There is a tiny pair of staple holes in both left corners. In spite of all these defects, the card displays well as it is, and it has never had any restoration. One could certainly display it as is, or one could choose to have restoration performed. Either way, the new owner of this card will have a great image to display on their wall!
