An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Prizefighter and the Lady (released in other English-speaking countries as "Every Woman's Man"), the 1933 W.S. Van Dyke romantic love triangle nightclub boxing sports melodrama ("See Primo Carnera, Champion, and Max Baer, Contender in their first ring battle"; "Girls! There's a new passion in your life!"; about an unknown boxer who is discovered by an old-timer while working in a bar, and he becomes a heavyweight contender, and he meets the girlfriend of a gangster, and he marries her, but then she suspects him of being unfaithful, and she goes back to the gangster, and he turns to drink, but can he pull himself together in time for his championship fight?) starring Myrna Loy, Max Baer, Primo Carnera, Jack Dempsey, Walter Huston, and Otto Kruger. Note that, in a very reasonable casting move, MGM hired real-life heavyweight boxers Max Baer and Primo Carnera to play the stars of this movie, so that they would look realistic in their fight scenes! Max Baer apparently did a pretty good job acting, and a year after this movie was released, he had an actual championship fight against Primo Carnera, which he won by knockout! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that ANY first release U.S. movie paper items from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a half-sheet (10 years ago), a window card (13 years ago), three scene lobby cards, and a few stills from this movie (and NO other first release U.S. movie paper of any kind) until we received this lobby card! We are also auctioning a scene card in a separate auction. Also 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. What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: good to very good. The card had pinholes around the edges and a pinhole in Baer's cheek by his eye. It had a stain in the "MO" of "PRIMO" at top center and some smudges and tiny dot stains in the rest of the card. Overall, the card was in good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material) and they then performed excellent restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, so that the card still exactly looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. You can see slight signs of the restoration, but the card displays really well! Learn More about condition grades
