An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Citizen Kane, the classic 1941 Orson Welles (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) biographical newspaper journalism melodrama ("Some called him a hero... Others called him a heel"; "It's Terrific!"; loosely based on the life of William Randolph Hearst; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; many people consider it the finest movie ever made) starring Orson Welles (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Charles Foster Kane), with the members of Welles' "Mercury Actors", who had previously acted with him on stage, Joseph Cotten (as Jedediah Leland), Dorothy Comingore (as Susan Alexander Kane), Everett Sloane (as Mr. Bernstein), Ray Collins (as Jim W. Gettys), George Coulouris (as Walter Parks Thatcher), Agnes Moorehead (as Mary Kane, Kane's mother), Paul Stewart (as Raymond), Ruth Warrick (as Emily Monroe Norton Kane), Erskine Sanford (as Herbert Carter), William Alland (as Jerry Thompson), Fortunio Bonanova (as Signor Matiste), Buddy Swan (as Kane at age 8), Harry Shannon (as Kane's father), and Alan Ladd (in one of his early incredibly tiny parts, but he does have a single speaking line!) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good. The lobby card had pinholes in the corners, and one each in the center of the top and bottom border, and one near the center of the card (in Welles' neck). There were some smudges around the edges of the card. Some EXTREMELY talented restorer pressed and flattened the card, and did an extremely small amount of touch up to the above defects. You can still see traces of the pinholes and smudges around the edges, but they are no longer at all distracting, which means the appearance of the card has greatly improved, and yet there has been very little actual "restoration" (you can't see any sign of any change to the card when looking at the back of the card, and I think most people would barely realize the card was restored from looking at the front). I would think every collector would be thrilled to have this great lobby card displayed on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
