An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) A Woman of Affairs, the 1928 Clarence Brown romantic love triangle melodrama ("From the story by Michael Arlen"; the source novel was VERY daring for its time, in that it concerns a woman whose family breaks up her romance with the man she loves, and she marries a man she doesn't love, only to have him commit suicide on their wedding night because he has syphilis; she then becomes promiscuous herself, trying to "save his reputation" by making it seem that he killed himself because of her promiscuity; this was too daring for MGM, and they changed it so that the husband committed suicide because he was an embezzler, but they keep the part of Garbo becoming promiscuous, which doesn't have the same meaning, but they add in that she pays off her deceased husband's debts, incurred by his embezzling!) starring John Gilbert, Greta Garbo, Lewis Stone, Johnny Mack Brown (billed as "John Mack Brown"), and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. (19 years old and fifth billed, but he had been in lots of movies in the past seven years, thanks to his famous dad!). Note that many feel that this is surely Greta Garbo's best silent movie (it had a musical score and sound effects, but was basically a silent movie), and many call it her best movie period. It certainly was a very daring role, and only Garbo could have made her character both believable and sympathetic! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Prior to paperbacking, the card had many pinholes, stains, and some tears around the edges, with a few creases, small stains, and scuffs scattered in the image. Overall, the lobby card was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The card was nicely backed, and displays well. The restorer placed new blank paper over the blank borders (something often done by restorers, to "even them out"). Learn More about condition grades
