An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Elinor Glyn's Three Weekends, the 1928 Clarence G. Badger silent mistaken identity romantic love triangle comedy (based on a story by Elinor Glyn, most famous as the author of "Three Weeks" and "It"; the title of this movie was an attempt to make a connection with her bestseller "Three Weeks"; about a beautiful young lady who sees a man driving a very expensive car, and she thinks he is rich, but actually, he is just driving his boss' car, and sparks fly between them; later she goes to a millionaire's house, who takes her swimming and hides her clothes, but the poor man she met earlier rescues her and they get married) starring Clara Bow ("the luscious, throbbing, captivating, red-head!"), Neil Hamilton, Harrison Ford (of course, not the same Harrison Ford that we know as an actor today, but a very popular leading man of the 1920s), Lucille Powers, Julia Swayne Gordon, William Holden (no, not THAT William Holden, but another actor of the same name who made 20 movies between 1920 and 1931, and he died the next year, which was 7 years before the more famous William Holden made his first movie!), and Edythe Chapman. Note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving complete copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Condition: good to very good. The poster had pinholes, creases, tears, and some areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster and some creases, smudges, scuffs, and a few pinholes scattered throughout the image. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was well backed by a talented restorer, who did not touch up many of the faint smudges and scuffs (and I agree with that decision, because to do so would have required lots of paint, which would have given the poster a "heavily restored" look, and I don't feel the smudges and scuffs are all that distracting, and they help establish that this is a genuine 81 year-old original poster!). Obviously, one would prefer to find an example of this window card that had no defects or restoration, but I do not know if another example of this card exists (or if it does, if the owner would consider parting with it!). This card has had expert restoration and displays nicely. Learn More about condition grades
