An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Great Waltz, the 1938 Julien Duvivier fictionalized biographical romantic dance musical ("Your beating heart, your pounding pulse will tell you it's the most exciting musical love story ever told!"; "Life is a romance of wine, women and song"; an incredibly loose biography of Johann Strauss, the Austrian "Waltz King") starring Luise Rainer (as Strauss' wife), Fernand Gravey (billed as "Fernand Gravet"; as Johann Strauss), Miliza Korjus (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Hugh Herbert, and Lionel Atwill. Note that this is the movie with the classic scene showing Gravet and Miliza Korjus (playing a woman Strauss had a long affair with, and in real life she was an opera singer who only appeared in a couple of movies) riding in the Vienna woods in a carriage and composing the classic "Tales of the Vienna Woods" off of the sounds they hear around them!

Important Added Info: Note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. We are doing something in this set of auctions we rarely do! A couple of years ago, we were approached by a very long time collector, and he asked us if he could give us an entire auction of single lobby cards by himself. We agreed, and held that auction in 2017, and later that same year, a different collector sent us a different group of 999 lobby cards and we repeated the process. Now we have a third such "single owner" collection. This one was originally assembled in Australia, which is why some of the cards have either Australian paper snipes attached or Australian ratings stamps (but many do not have them). This collection originally contained 1,100 cards, and we auctioned 100 of them in our March Major Auction, and now we are auctioning the remaining 999 in THIS set of auctions, and after this auction, there will be no more cards to be offered. As will immediately be evident when you look at the cards, many of them are from titles where you almost never see any lobby cards, so this is a rare opportunity to acquire many cards that almost never are offered for sale or at auction! Condition: good. The card was used in Australia and there is an Australian rating snipe in one corner. There are many defects scattered on the front of the card, with pieces of tape and tape stains on the back of the card. See our super-sized images to get a good sense of the condition of this card. Please do not bid on this card unless you can accept its significant defects or are willing to pay to have them properly restored. Learn More about condition grades
