Home Before Dark, the 1958 Mervyn LeRoy psychological troubled-marriage-and-mental-illness romantic melodrama ("It's been a year since you've touched me!"; "In the darkness she thought he was her husband!"; "A pretty girl and the stunning shock that marriage brings her!"; "No story... no drama... no performance this powerful has ever been seen!"; "The book was bold- the picture's bolder!"; "A wife on the rim of insanity... A story motion pictures have never told before... Of a girl's desperate need for her man!"; "'I took advantage. I'm sorry.'"; "The stranger who knew about her..."; "Screenplay by Eileen and Robert Bassing"; based on the novel by Eileen Bassing; about a woman and her very troubled marriage, and her husband's lack of desire for her, and his attraction to her step-sister, and her possible mental illness) starring Jean Simmons ("Jean Simmons becomes the dramatic star of stars in Home Before Dark"), Dan O'Herlihy, Rhonda Fleming, Efrem Zimbalist Jr., and Joanna Barnes

Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card has been personally autographed (signed) by Jean Simmons!

Note that this item was consigned to us by an individual who owned a company that made movies and videos with famous celebrities in the 1980s and 1990s. The owner of the company would have the celebrities sign items from their famous films, and he also had correspondence with many famous celebrities which he saved. In addition, he would sometimes ask celebrities he came in contact with if they had signed items from other stars that they would sell to him, and he purchased a number of items that way. He also would purchase unsigned items from the famed Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Los Angeles or from other reputable Hollywood book stores and poster shops (to have the celebrities sign), and while he was doing that he would also purchase some of their signed items. So all of these autographed items we are auctioning were either obtained in person, obtained from celebrities who obtained them in person, or obtained from reputable Hollywood book stores, and we feel certain that the autograph(s) on this item is authentic!

Condition: very good to fine. Note that this lobby card is in excellent condition and is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
