Important Added Info: Note that most of you probably realize that we copy the credits that are written on the movie posters and lobby cards we sell, and that is why we have such excellent descriptions of each movie. Most credits are in fairly large type, but occasionally, studios use rather small type, especially for minor actors or lesser production people. This card has the distinction of having the absolute tiniest small credits (easily verified if you look at the title box and look at the very bottom where the tiny credits get progressively even tinier!). Condition: fine. Note that this lobby card is in excellent condition and is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of the card!
