Auction History Result 2t213 JACK LONDON WC '43 wacky falsely advertised as anti-Japanese World War II movie! Date Sold 4/22/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Jack London, the 1943 Alfred Santell biographical romantic adventure melodrama ("Man alive!"; "He was lover... fighter... war correspondent... pirate... novelist... prospector... and lots more!"; "Here is a MAN!"; "MAMIE... Water-front wanton of his pirate days on the Barbary coast."; "Mamie... Water-front waif of his pirate days on the Barbary coast"; "FREEDA... Belle of the Yukon... Spurned a million dollars for love of Jack London!!"; "Freeda... Belle of the Yukon...Who spurned a million for love of Jack London"; a highly fictionalized telling of the life of the famous novelist; "The true report of the First American Prisoner of the Japs"; "See the Original March of Death!"; "Jack London had to choose these women... Or adventure. Which would you have taken?"; "It was their caresses against a call he had to answer... A wild, insistant call to danger... to battle... to glory!") starring Michael O'Shea (in the title role as Jack London), Susan Hayward, Osa Massen, Harry Davenport, Frank Craven, Virginia Mayo, Ralph Morgan, and Louise Beavers. Note that the real-life Jack London spent a while as a war correspondent covering the Russian-Japanese War, and this movie makes that a major episode in his life (no doubt because the movie was made in 1943, and thus this famous author became a propaganda tool in our then-current war against the Japanese!). The posters for the movie would lead one to think that it was a movie set in the then-present day, and perhaps detailing Japanese atrocities! 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 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: good to very good. The entire card has darkened somewhat. Learn More about condition grades
