An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card #8 (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Undercurrent, the 1946 Vincente Minnelli romantic family relationship crime film noir ("Please don't tell the terrific ending!"; "Based on a story by Thelma Strabel"; about a woman who impulsively marries a man, and then discovers he has a brother who has mysteriously vanished, and she comes to suspect that he has murdered the missing brother) starring Katharine Hepburn ("Never so exciting!"), Robert Taylor ("He's back! And it's his greatest role!"), Robert Mitchum, Edmund Gwenn, Marjorie Main, Jayne Meadows (in her first movie role!; on some stills she is referred to as "Jayne Cotter"), Clinton Sundberg, and Dan Tobin. Note that the tagline after Robert Taylor's credit about him being "back" refers to this being his first movie after he finished his military service during World War II. Also note that Lorraine Day had agreed to to appear in the movie "Keep Your Powder Dry" on the condition that she star in this movie, but then MGM reneged on the deal, and Day asked to be released from her contract and MGM obliged. Finally, note that there was a long-standing story that Katharine Hepburn felt Mitchum was a poor actor who only got by on his looks, and that she told him so to his face, but when Mitchum appeared on the Dick Cavett TV show, he said that this was a complete myth, and that he and Hepburn got along really well!

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: very good. There are three small tears in the borders, mostly only affecting blank white paper. Otherwise, the card is in nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
