An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 12 1/2" x 14" [32 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Tillie and Gus, the 1933 Francis Martin huckster gambling boating screwball comedy (about an aging couple who have cheated many people as a team, and they are called to a place where a young couple and a baby are about to lose their boat, and after they are mistaken for missionaries, they decide to help the couple keep their boat and they do so by managing to win a boat race!) starring W.C. Fields (in the title role as Augustus 'Gus' Winterbottom), Alison Skipworth (in the title role as Tillie Winterbottom), Baby LeRoy (who was just a year old and in one of his first notable roles), Julie Bishop, and Phillip Trent 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: Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 12 1/2" x 14" [32 x 36 cm]. Condition: fair. The card was found in the back of a frame where it had been used as a backing board for a picture (many framers in the 1920s and 1930s would use window cards for this purpose, and they would trim them to the size of the frame, not caring that they were cutting into the image!). In this case, the trimming, which was to 12 1/2" x 14", affects the top and bottom of the card (only blank white paper at the top), and you can see what is missing by looking at our image. Since most of the title, image, and major credits remain, I would think many people could display this card as is, but please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
