An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) The Bridge of San Luis Rey, the 1929 Charles Brabin silent South America romantic tragedy melodrama (based on a novel by Thornton Wilder; the classic story of a bridge in Peru that collapses, killing five people, and then the movie tells those five people's stories in flashback, so one can decide if it was bad luck or fate that they all happened to be on that fateful bridge) starring Lili Damita, Ernest Torrence, Raquel Torres, Don Alvarado, Duncan Renaldo, and Henry B. Walthall. Note that the movie was originally filmed as a silent, and then had sound added, and the film is mostly lost, and is almost completely forgotten today, overshadowed by the 1944 version of this same novel, starring Lynn Bari, Akim Tamiroff and Francis Lederer NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: 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: fair. The entire card was darkened and water stained. The bottom 2" of the card is cracked and is quite fragile. The card has significant defects, but it is likely that a professional restorer can remove much of the staining through chemical means, and after proper restoration, the card will look great, and it will likely not need a lot of paint restoration.
