Seiter pre-Code New York City Greenwich Village romantic comedy ("They slept in the same room and still were strangers!... But things like that can't last forever in gaudy Greenwich Village, where art is long, but love is brief and blind!"; "A Laughter Romance!"; "From the novel by John Wells"; a clever plot that has been since re-used many many times, where a poor working woman and man who are complete strangers end up sharing a Greenwich Village apartment to save money, and because one works days and one works nights, they never are in the apartment at the same time, and in fact, never meet, and have no idea what the other is like, but then they meet accidentally, not realizing they are roommates, and they fall in love, still not knowing that they are "living together") starring Ginger Rogers, Norman Foster, George Sidney, Robert Benchley, Laura Hope Crews, and Guinn 'Big Boy' Williams NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The card was found in a frame where it was used as a backing board and the left 2" and the top 7" were neatly trimmed off. This extended into the credits box at lower left and into the left side of the first "R" of "RAFTER", but otherwise had little effect on the left of the image. The paper loss at top extended into the top of the "TER" of "RAFTER" and the background to the left and right of it. Otherwise, the card had some smudges and scuffs and some tears in the borders. An extremely talented restorer replaced the missing areas and corrected the missing letters (as described above), and now the card looks fantastic, and from a reasonable viewing distance, it looks fantastic and you don't even have a sense that it was restored!
