An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 18" [36 x 46 cm]) (Learn More)

Raoul Walsh's The Man Who Came Back, the 1931 Raoul Walsh San Francisco California/Shanghai drug addiction romantic melodrama (about a woman who is a nightclub singer who becomes a drug addict, and a man who loses all his money and writes bad checks, and both end up in Shanghai in an opium den, and find love together, which allows them to change their lives and get back on the right path!) starring Janet Gaynor, Charles Farrell, Kenneth MacKenna, William Holden (no, not THAT William Holden, but another actor of the same name who made 20 movies between 1920 and 1931, and he died the next year, which was 7 years before the more famous William Holden made his first movie!), and Mary Forbes. Note that both Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell had built their stardom playing exceptionally positive clean cut roles, and both no doubt shocked their fans with their portrayals in this movie!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: The window card originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this was commonly done with window cards, when the top had been left blank, or when someone had hand-scrawled play date information in that area). Most collectors do not consider it to be a significant defect at all, since only blank white paper is lost, and the window card becomes easier to frame. Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded.

Condition: fair to good. There is a 2" tear in the bottom border that was repaired with tape from the back. The back of the card appears to be covered with white paint, but it does not affect the front. The blank top was trimmed off and there is paper loss in all four corners, extending into the writing in the left corners. But the image is not affected, and a talented restorer could certainly replace the missing area, and after proper paperbacking and restoration, the card will look great!
