An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 16 3/4" [36 x 43 cm]) (Learn More) Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped, the 1938 Alfred L. Werker pirate swashbuckling adventure thriller (based on the novel by Robert Louis Stevenson; produced by Darryl F. Zanuck; set in the late 18th century, about a young Scottish heir who is kidnapped by his uncle and sent to sea, hopefully to never be seen again, but he returns with the help of a sailor he meets on the ship) starring Warner Baxter, Freddie Bartholomew, Arleen Whelan, C. Aubrey Smith, Reginald Owen, John Carradine, Nigel Bruce, Miles Mander, Ralph Forbes, H.B. Warner, Arthur Hohl, E.E. Clive, Halliwell Hobbes, and Montagu Love. Note that the posters for this movie prominently credit all top fourteen actors in the cast, which is certainly unusual for anything other than a movie with an all-star cast! Also note that this was Arleen Whelan's first real role, after a small uncredited part. In the publicity for the movie, they said that she is a "titian-haired Cinderella girl who rose almost overnight from a manicurist in a Hollywood beauty shop to a leading lady for the movies".

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this window card, and that was 11 years ago! The window card originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this was commonly done with window cards, when the top had been left blank, or when someone had hand-scrawled play date information in that area). Most collectors do not consider it to be a significant defect at all, since only blank white paper is lost, and the window card becomes easier to frame. Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good. In addition to the top border being mostly trimmed off, all of the bottom border was trimmed off. The image area is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
