Note that Judy Holliday had created the role of Billie Dawn in the original Broadway version of this play. Harry Cohn paid $1,000,000 for the rights to the play, and he did not want Holliday to play the part, because he thought she was not well enough known and too "ethnic". All of Columbia's top actresses, including Rita Hayworth, were considered for the role before they finally went back to Holliday, which is ironic, since she won the Oscar for Best Actress!

Important Added Info: Note that this set contains some of the best remembered scenes from the movie, which is rare for the first release lobby card set of almost any movie (likely this is because it was a Broadway hit, and they knew which scenes the audience responded the best to). Condition: very good to fine. The cards have some varying amounts of minor border wear, but otherwise, they are in nice condition. Note that these lobby cards are completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of any of them! Learn More about condition grades
