Auction History Result 1d459 BREAK OF HEARTS 5 movie lobby cards '35 Katharine Hepburn, Charles Boyer, includes title card! Date Sold 6/26/2008 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 5 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; including the title card; each measures 10" x 13") (Learn More) Break of Hearts, the 1935 Philip Moeller romantic melodrama ("A new Hepburn to marvel at..."; "Electric Hepburn... ablaze in gorgeous gowns... together with the screen's new romantic idol"; based on the story by Lester Cohen; about a famous orchestra conductor who has many girlfriends, but then he meets a beautiful young female composer, and he falls in love and marries her, but then she catches him with another woman and leaves him) starring Katharine Hepburn, Charles Boyer, John Beal, Jean Hersholt, and Sam Hardy. Note that Francis Lederer was originally the male lead in this movie, but during the filming of the first romantic scene, he complained that the director wanted to show his "bad side", and he was immediately fired and replaced by Boyer, a young French actor (and this was a big break for Boyer, in one of his first major roles, and he was billed as "the screen's new romantic idol")! Also note that the orchestra conductor was based on two real-life conductors of the period: Leopold Stokowski, who was well known for his rearrangements of music by Bach, Wagner and other composers; and Arturo Toscanini, who was notorious for insulting his musicians during rehearsals the way the orchestra conductor does in the film.

Each of the cards has had its borders trimmed off, and each measures approximately 10" x 13".

Each of the cards has pinholes in the corners, and the card in the top left of our image has a scratch mark in between Boyer and Hepburn. The card with the close up of Boyer and Hepburn has a pinhole in Hepburn's nose and the title card has pinholes all around the edges.
