An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) The Last of Mrs. Cheyney, the 1937 Richard Boleslawski, Dorothy Arzner, & George Fitzmaurice romantic love triangle society jewel thieves crime comedy ("The new star-spangled M-G-M sensation!"; "MGM's Star-Spangled Sensations"; "From the play by Frederick Lonsdale"; partially written by Samson Raphaelson, who wrote the very similar "Trouble in Paradise", except with the gender of the lead characters reversed; about a rich American widow who gets involved in English society, and two upper class Englishmen pursue her, but then jewelry starts going missing, and they suspect the widow may not be what she represented herself to be!) starring Joan Crawford (in the title role as Mrs. Fay Cheyney), William Powell, Robert Montgomery, Frank Morgan, Nigel Bruce, and Jessie Ralph. Note that Dorothy Arzner was a director from the 1920s to the 1940s, and she was the only woman director during the "Golden Age" of Hollywood ('20s to '40s) and she was the first woman to join the Directors Guild of America. Arzner was a lesbian at a time when almost no females openly were, and she was surprisingly open about it, often dressing in "men's clothes" and wearing her hair short. She made many "women's movies" and movies with a "feminist" theme. After making "First Comes Courage" in 1943, she made training films for the U.S. Army WACs, and she never returned to making Hollywood movies, becoming a film teacher of directing and screenwriting, teaching at UCLA until her passing in 1979.

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: good. Note that the card measures very slightly under 14" x 22" (an extremely tiny amount in each direction!) and has next-to-no left, right, or bottom blank borders, but it has NOT been trimmed (this was done at a time when MGM was experimenting with having as few borders as possible). There is water staining across the bottom 2" of the card with creases and scuffs on the front of that area. There are tiny tears and paper loss in the top and bottom of the right border. There are some scattered areas of surface paper loss in the card, but none in the stars' faces. Learn More about condition grades
