Important Added Info: Note that these lobby cards represent a real mystery. They appear to be English lobby cards, but they have a similar printing quality to that of lobby cards used in Canadian theaters in the 1940s. They were originally found in Canada, which would make it real possible that they are Canadian lobby cards, but there is no way we know to tel for sure. So we are leaving them as English lobby cards (sent to Canada when the film was first shown), but please do not bid on them unless you can accept that they may be Canadian lobby cards. If they ARE English, then they are "country of origin". If they ARE Canadian, then they would be from 1946, when the movie was first released there. If anyone knows more about these, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. Each card has minor creases throughout the card. Each card has a tack hole or near the center of the image. The card with the shadowy image has some staining in the right edge of the card (slightly extending into the image). The card of the man holding a scarf from behind a chair has a small stain in the man at left's nose and a horizontal crease across the right 2/3 of the top of the image background. The card with the close-up of Johnson & the man had the bottom border (slightly extending into the image) folded back at one time. Learn More about condition grades
