An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 20" x 25 1/2" [51 x 65 cm]) (Learn More) Lady For a Day, the classic 1933 Frank Capra (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) New York City romantic gambling mistaken identity crime comedy ("Takes its place along the greatest pictures ever made!"; "Takes its place with the greatest!"; "From the story by Damon Runyon"; "Screen play by Robert Riskin"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a soft-hearted superstitious gangster and gambler who befriends Apple Annie, an old lady who sells apples in the street, and who has told her daughter at a finishing school that she is wealthy, and Dave the Dude spends a zillion dollars making the dream become a reality!) starring Warren William (as Dave the Dude), May Robson (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; as Apple Annie), Guy Kibbee (as Judge Blake), Glenda Farrell (as Missouri), Ned Sparks (as Happy), Jean Parker, Walter Connolly (as Count Romero), Barry Norton, Hobart Bosworth, and Nat Pendleton (as Shakespeare). Note that Frank Capra re-made this movie in 1961 (his very final movie) with Bette Davis in the lead role, under the title of "Pocketful of Miracles". Also note that this was the very famous movie where, at the Academy Awards ceremony that year, Will Rogers was presenting the Best Director Award, and he looked at the winner's name, and called out "Come on up here, Frank!", and Frank Capra started running down the aisle, so happy he had won an Academy Award, only to discover that it was actually Frank Lloyd who had won! That must have been a really long walk back to his seat! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 20" x 25 1/2" [51 x 65 cm]. Note that this poster comes from a collection that was consigned to us of window cards, inserts, and half-sheets, ALL of which are in MUCH lesser condition (as is immediately evident from looking at the images of these posters). But many of these posters are from early 1930s titles where it is next-to-impossible to find a better condition example of these posters! Obviously, the cost of restoration of these posters will vary greatly depending on the extent of the defects, so please carefully study our super-sized image of each item BEFORE you place a bid. Also, know that normally we allow returns of any item, but because all of these items are in MUCH lesser condition, we will NOT accept returns of this item, so bear that in mind as well before placing a bid. Condition: poor. The borders were all trimmed off (and the top was trimmed to around the edge of the headshots of the stars) and there is staining and some paper loss scattered throughout the poster. The poster is quite fragile. Learn More about condition grades
