Auction History Result 5c147 MOST DANGEROUS GAME LC '32 Joel McCrea & Fay Wray being hunted in jungle, ultra rare! Date Sold 3/9/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Most Dangerous Game (released in England as "Hounds of Zaroff"), the 1932 Irving Pichel & Ernest B. Schoedsack mystery adventure horror thriller ("Fascinating, strange and terrible is the story of Zaroff, who hunted men like animals for a sporting thrill"; '"The finest specimens I ever killed"'; produced by Merian C. Cooper; based on the story 'The Most Dangerous Game' by Richard Connell, one of many movies based on this classic story!) starring Joel McCrea, Fay Wray, Leslie Banks (as Zaroff), Robert Armstrong, and Noble Johnson. Note that this movie was filmed simultaneously with "King Kong", so many of the actors, sets, and sound effects from King Kong were used in this movie! Also note that Leslie Banks was a distinguished English stage actor who made his first movie appearance in this most unusual movie (the IMDb claims he was in a 1921 movie, but we don't know that that is accurate, and he surely did not have a leading role)! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that original 1932 release material from this movie is INCREDIBLY scarce! We really don't know why that is, although of course almost all 1932 release items are somewhat scarce. Over the past 20 years, we have auctioned a half-sheet (which auctioned for $10,611, in fair condition!), a window card, two lobby cards, and two original glass slides and a pressbook, so this is only the third 1932 lobby card we have ever auctioned! Also 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. Condition: good to very good. The card has two diagonal creases in the bottom left corner. It has creases in the top left corner, with a 2" crease in the border below it, extending into the image background. It has a 1 1/2" crease in the lower right border. It has pinholes around the edges and two in the upper background area, with some faint smudges and a few tiny stains around the edges. It has two tiny pieces of tape on the back of the top border, where the card was once attached to a mat. It has had no restoration (see our images). It will display wonderfully on the new owner's wall just as it is, or certainly, one could choose to have restoration performed to the above defects. Either way, the new owner will have an incredibly rare card to display on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
