Important Added Info: Note that on this movie, and on several other releases of the 1930s and 1940s, lesser studios sometimes issued a set of very different looking lobby cards! This was part of a "photolobby" set with a glossy color scene from the movie, and was printed on the type of paper used for 11x14 stills, not the type used for lobby cards. It is possible that some of these movies also had a regular lobby card set, but I believe in most cases there was only a photolobby set. Also note that photolobbies that say "color-glos" were made in addition to the regular lobby card set, but the ones that don't say "color-glos" were likely the ONLY lobby cards made for that movie. So in the case of THIS movie, the photolobby offered here was from the "color-glos" lobby card set made for this movie, which was created in addition to the regular lobby card set. Condition: fair. Sadly, the photolobby has much surface paper loss in the middle of the left border, which removes the top of Orson Welles' body. There was a faint diagonal crease running across the upper part of the image, touching the top of the heads of three of the stars. The card had staining in three of the borders. Someone put tape on the back of the diagonal crease and on the back of a tear in the middle of the surface paper loss at middle left, as well as tape on the back of creases in the bottom right corner, but otherwise made no attempt at restoration. Certainly, a talented restorer could replace the missing portion of the border image, but bear this significant defect in mind before placing a bid on this photolobby.
