Date Sold 2/6/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 8 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) 1984, the 1956 Michael Anderson English futuristic science fiction (sci-fi) dystopian future melodrama ("Sex Outlawed... In the terrifying world of tomorrow!"; "The Anti-Sex League is Watching You... Even in the intimacy of your own home!"; "Will ecstasy be a crime... In the terrifying world of the future? Amazing wonders of tomorrow! Nothing like it ever filmed! From the startling George Orwell novel!"; "Most horrifying glimpse into the future ever filmed! From the shocking George Orwell novel!"; "From the Book by George Orwell") starring Edmond O'Brien (as Winston Smith), Michael Redgrave (as O'Connor), Jan Sterling (as Julia), David Kossoff (as Charrington), Mervyn Johns (as Jones), Donald Pleasence (as Parsons), John Vernon (uncredited, as Big Brother), and Anthony Jacobs (uncredited, as the voice on the telescreen). Note that in 1949, when this prophetic novel was first written, and in 1956, when this first movie adaptation was made, it seemed the height of fantasy that people would have devices in their home where the public could see and hear everything they did. In today's world, that has come to be true, and most surprisingly, it is the public that have brought those devices into their home, in the form of their phones and computers! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that the back of these cards were overprinted with a solid rectangular border with interior dimensions of 8" x 10". This was commonly done in the 1950s so that old lobby cards could be re-used as "frames" for 8x10 stills. These ARE original lobby cards. Condition: good. When a still was attached to the back of the cards (see above), someone cut four diagonal slits in each corner of the image, and cut out a small triangle area by each slit. They put the corners of the still into each slit from the back of the card, and then taped the still into place from the front of the card. The tape is long gone, but there are four triangular areas of paper loss and four tape stains in each corner of the images. One card (with the motorcycles) does not have the slits or paper loss, but has an 8x10 still glued to the back (and it is for a sexploitation movie, so please bear this and the other defects in mind before bidding).
