A 1962 Re-Release Theatrical Movie Lobby Card #3 (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Merry Widow, the 1934 Ernst Lubitsch romantic musical comedy ("The world's greatest spectacle of music, love and laughter!"; written by Samson Raphaelson; based on book and lyrics by Victor Leon & Leo Stein and music by Franz Lehar, from his 1905 operetta; about a mythical tiny country in Europe, and their richest citizen, a widow, goes to Paris, and the king of the country is afraid she will never come back, so he sends the country's greatest lover to try to marry her and keep her in their country!) starring Maurice Chevalier, Jeanette MacDonald, Edward Everett Horton, Sterling Holloway, Una Merkel, George Barbier, and Minna Gombell. Note that there was a 1925 silent version of this musical (a neat trick!) directed by Erich Von Stroheim, and a 1952 version starring Fernando Lamas and a non-singing Lana Turner (whose singing voice was dubbed)!

Important Added Info: Note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. We are doing something in this set of auctions we rarely do! A couple of years ago, we were approached by a very long time collector, and he asked us if he could give us an entire auction of single lobby cards by himself. We agreed, and held that auction in 2017, and later that same year, a different collector sent us a different group of 999 lobby cards and we repeated the process. Now we have a third such "single owner" collection. This one was originally assembled in Australia, which is why some of the cards have either Australian paper snipes attached or Australian ratings stamps (but many do not have them). This collection originally contained 1,100 cards, and we auctioned 100 of them in our March Major Auction, and now we are auctioning the remaining 999 in THIS set of auctions, and after this auction, there will be no more cards to be offered. As will immediately be evident when you look at the cards, many of them are from titles where you almost never see any lobby cards, so this is a rare opportunity to acquire many cards that almost never are offered for sale or at auction! Condition: good to very good. There are tape stains on the back of the borders that have bled through to the front. See our super-sized images to get a good sense of the condition of this card.
