Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned an example of this lobby card, which is a "country of origin" lobby card for this French movie! It depicts Jeanne-Pierre Leaud as young Francois Truffaut and his friend Rene Bigey (played by Patrick Auffay) stealing a French movie still of Gianna Maria Canale from "Theodora, Slave Empress"! It is a very early image that involves the collecting of movie posters and film stills (well to be more exact, in this case, the stealing of them!). Also note note that this French lobby card measures 9" x 11 3/4" [23 x 30 cm]. Condition: good to very good. The card has a few light surface scuffs and some very tint pinholes around the edges. There is a small pencil mark at lower right. It is otherwise in generally nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
