An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Casablanca, the classic 1942 Michael Curtiz (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) anti-Nazi World War II (WWII) romantic love triangle melodrama ("From a play by Murray Burnett and June Alison"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award; it is interesting to note that the movie was made while World War II was being fought, and at a point when it seemed very real that Germany might take over the entire world, and in that context, the strong emotions expressed throughout the movie are all the more poignant, given what was going on in the world at that time) starring Humphrey Bogart (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; as "Rick", Richard Blaine), Ingrid Bergman (as Ilsa Lund), Paul Henreid (as Victor Laszlo), Claude Rains (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Captain Renault), Conrad Veidt (as Major Strasser), Sydney Greenstreet (as Signor Ferrari), Peter Lorre (as Ugarte), S.Z. Sakall (as Carl), Dooley Wilson (as Sam), Madeleine LeBeau (as Yvonne), Leonid Kinskey (as Sascha), John Qualen (as Berger), Marcel Dalio (as Emil, the croupier at the roulette wheel), Corinna Mura (as the cabaret singer who plays the guitar and sings "La Marseillaise"), Helmut Dantine (as the young man playing roulette), and Joy Page (as Dantine's girlfriend, who is willing to sleep with Rains) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good. The card had approximately two dozen pinholes around the edges of the card, and there was a pinhole near the exact center of the card, plus a few in the background areas of the image (fortunately, there were none in either of the two figures and there were only two in the title area, both in the "N"). Some restorer took 20 pieces of white conservation tape, and placed them on the back of the pinholes (most are tiny, but a few are larger, so they could cover more than one pinhole), and then the restorer did slight touch up to the parts of the front of the card that were affected by the pinholes (mostly the borders and the red background area). You can slightly tell that there was restoration in the card, but it is truthfully not very distracting at all (about the only part you really notice is in the red area a few inches above the last "A" of "CASABLANCA", and in the red areas in the top corners). The image and title area has had little restoration, and as I said, there is none in the two figures, and I think most collectors would be quite happy to display this great card on their wall!
