The Philadelphia Story, the classic 1940 George Cukor (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) Pennsylvania romantic love triangle wedding comedy ("Howl with your happiest Hollywood stars!"; "Broadway's howling year-run comedy hit of the snooty society beauty who slipped and fell - in love!"; "Based on the play by Philip Barry"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a divorced socialite who is planning to remarry and have no press coverage, but a newspaper editor blackmails her ex-husband to arrange to have a reporter and a photographer attend, and many complications ensue) starring Cary Grant ("...he's a smoothie!"), Katharine Hepburn (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; "...she's a wild red-head!"), James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart; winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; "...he's a devil in the moonlight!"), Ruth Hussey (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), John Howard, Roland Young, John Halliday, Mary Nash, and Virginia Weidler. Note that James Stewart won the Best Actor Academy Award for this film and many feel it was to repay him for not winning the year before for Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, but that is especially ironic, because he was given the Oscar over Henry Fonda in The Grapes of Wrath, who surely deserved it! Also note that this movie was remade in 1955 as the musical High Society, with Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, and Frank Sinatra in the lead roles.

Important Added Info: Note that we have auctioned a number of individual scene cards from this movie, but only three in the last 12 years, so clearly they are both rare and the people who own them are mostly not reselling them!

Note that this is one of seven complete sets of lobby cards that we were consigned that are highly prized by collectors, so we are auctioning each of the eight cards in each of the seven sets in its own individual auction! This means you can bid on any or all of the eight cards in this very desirable set, something that hardly ever happens with this title! 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.
