An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Break of Hearts, the 1935 Philip Moeller romantic melodrama ("A new Hepburn to marvel at..."; "Electric Hepburn... ablaze in gorgeous gowns... together with the screen's new romantic idol"; based on the story by Lester Cohen; about a famous orchestra conductor who has many girlfriends, but then he meets a beautiful young female composer, and he falls in love and marries her, but then she catches him with another woman and leaves him) starring Katharine Hepburn, Charles Boyer, John Beal, Jean Hersholt, and Sam Hardy. Note that Francis Lederer was originally the male lead in this movie, but during the filming of the first romantic scene, he complained that the director wanted to show his "bad side", and he was immediately fired and replaced by Boyer, a young French actor (and this was a big break for Boyer, in one of his first major roles, and he was billed as "the screen's new romantic idol")! Also note that the orchestra conductor was based on two real-life conductors of the period: Leopold Stokowski, who was well known for his rearrangements of music by Bach, Wagner and other composers; and Arturo Toscanini, who was notorious for insulting his musicians during rehearsals the way the orchestra conductor does in the film. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good to very good. There is a long faint diagonal scuff mark that starts in Boyer's lapel and then runs up through his ear and across his eyebrows and ends in the area between him and Hepburn. There are some other faint smudges and scuffs throughout the card, more so around the edges. There are two pieces of brown paper tape on the back of the center of the top and bottom borders, and also two small pieces of conservation tape on the back of the left and right of the top border, but they were not put there for any restoration purpose. Other than the four pieces of tape, this card is completely unrestored and has never had any restoration of any kind, nor has there been any tape on the front or back of the card.
