An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 12 1/2" x 15 1/2" [32 x 39 cm]) (Learn More) Gigolette (also released as "Gigolettes"), the 1935 Charles Lamont New York City nightclub romantic love triangle prostitution crime melodrama ("from the story by Gordon Kahn"; about a woman who moves to New York City and is forced to work as a "gigolette", which along with "taxi dancer" were basically 1930s euphemisms for prostitute, and she gets involved with the owner of the club and a rich patron) starring Adrienne Ames, Ralph Bellamy, Donald Cook, Robert Armstrong, and Harold Waldridge 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 this window card has been trimmed and it now measures 12 1/2" x 15 1/2" [32 x 39 cm]. 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. The window card was found inside a frame and it had been trimmed to 12 1/2" x 15 1/2", which affected the end of the title and part of the right edge of the art (and likely a tiny bit of the top edge of the art). There is surface paper loss in the top of the right border and surface paper loss and stains in the bottom edge (from when the card was attached to the back of the frame). There is a water stain down the right edge of the card that is uneven and shows much more from the back then from the front. There is a 1" tear in the lower left border that was repaired with tape from the back. Because so much of the art and title is present, I could well imagine many collectors framing and displaying this just as it is, but 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!
