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. extremely faint scuff marks over much of the surface of the image; it is truly not really at all noticeable or distracting, but I mention it for the sake of complete disclosure; there is a 2" crease that runs from the middle of the left blank border into the middle of the wine bottle and there are two faint scuff marks parallel to it in the area 1" above it; there is a 1/2" tear above those scuff marks in the left blank border and a 1/4" tear in the lower part of the left blank border; there is a tiny pinhole in each blank corner and a pair of staple holes at the top of Bogart's hair; there are two tiny pinholes in the right edge of the image right in the middle of the background; there are many small creases around the edges of the card; there is clear tape on the back of the top blank border, but it does not affect the front; The card is in much better condition than the above makes it sound! Its defects are truly minor, and I can't imagine a collector who would not be happy to display this card exactly as is. Of course, any talented restorer could repair its minor defects. I have owned a great number of Casablanca cards over the years, and they are rarely found in good condition, and almost always, the red color in the border has faded considerably, which is not the case with this card. This is surely one of the better examples of this most desireable and classic lobby card! Learn More about condition grades
