An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) General Spanky, the 1936 Fred Newmeyer & Gordon Douglas Our Gang feature-length military war comedy ("A Hal Roach Full Length Feature"; "70 minutes of delight!"; produced by Hal Roach) starring George 'Spanky' McFarland (in the title role), Phillips Holmes, Ralph Morgan, Irving Pichel, Rosina Lawrence, Eugene 'Porky' Lee, Carl 'Alfalfa' Switzer, Billie 'Buckwheat' Thomas, John 'Uh huh' Collum and Willie Best. Note that Phillips Holmes had made an impression in some movies in the late 1920s. In 1931, he would get the lead in the first version of "An American Tragedy", which made it seem like he would become a major star, but that didn't materialize. He had a major affair with Libby Holman, but that was certainly complicated, and when they broke up, she immediately married his brother! Oddly, years later, Holman would have another very complicated affair with Montgomery Clift, who played the same part in the remake of "An American Tragedy", retitled "A Place in the Sun". Sadly, Holmes died in a plane crash in 1942. I am very surprised no one has made a movie about his life, or a joint movie about him and Libby Holman! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good to fine. There are pinholes in the corners, and two in the center of the top border, one in the center of the bottom border, and one in the center of the card. There are a few faint smudges. Other than the above, the card is in pretty nice condition! Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored, with no tape anywhere on the front or back of the card.
