An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More)

Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, the classic 1935 Jack Conway & Robert Z. Leonard French Revolution London England/Paris France historical class struggle romantic love triangle melodrama ("Humanities greatest love story!"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; based on the classic novel by Charles Dickens) starring Ronald Colman (as Sydney Carton), Elizabeth Allan (as Lucie Manette), Edna May Oliver (as Miss Pross), Reginald Owen, Basil Rathbone, Blanche Yurka (as Madame De Farge), Henry B. Walthall, Donald Woods (as Charles Darnay), Lucille La Verne, Walter Catlett, and Isabel Jewell. Note that in earlier stage and screen versions of this classic movie, the parts of Sydney Carton and Charles Darnay were played by the same actor (to better explain how one could pass for the other), but in this version, those parts were played by two different actors, and this version is rightly considered a classic!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that first release movie posters from this movie are extremely rare! We have only previously auctioned a Meloy Bros 40x60, but no studio-issued movie posters at all, until we received this window card! Also note that the card measures very slightly under 14" x 22" (an extremely tiny amount in each direction!) and has 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). Also note that this window card was never folded. 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: very good to fine. The card has a 1" faint scuff mark in Colman's lapel at bottom right. Otherwise, the card is in really wonderful condition, with bright colors and no restoration.
