Date Sold 11/28/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 2 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Million Dollar Legs, the 1939 Nick Grinde college university boat racing sports teen comedy ("Based on a story by Lewis R. Foster") starring Betty Grable, Jackie Coogan (at the time, Grable and Coogan were married!), Joyce Mathews, Donald O'Connor, Buster Crabbe (billed as "Larry Crabbe"), John Hartley, and Peter Lind Hayes (in his first credited role!). Note that after this movie, Betty Grable was described as having "million dollar legs", and her legs were insured for $1,000,000 by Lloyds of London (and a pinup of her looking over her shoulder in a bathing suit displaying her "million dollar legs" was one of the most popular pinups during World War II!). Note that there was a 1932 W.C. Fields movie with the same name as this movie, but it has no connection to this movie other than the title. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: This was printed by Associated Displays Corporation which was a company based in New York City. Before it was discovered by noted poster dealer/historian Walter Reuben, collectors did not know the name of this company (and thought it to be located in the Midwest), and it is often referred to as the "other company" (and we will continue to refer to it that way, since collectors know it that way). From 1936 to roughly 1941, this company printed its own one-sheets and lobby card sets (and a very few inserts, half-sheets, three-sheets, 40x60s and stills) for three major studio movies (Warner Brothers, Paramount and United Artists, but no other studios). The items almost always feature a tiny legal disclaimer and cast credits only. The posters and lobby cards are from the original release of the movie, and almost always have completely different artwork from the regular studio release. They did this by combining elements from different film scenes onto one poster or card. Sometimes, "other company" posters have images that are the equal of those from the regular studio release posters. Condition: good to very good. Both cards have a collector stamp at upper right. The card pictured at top has a few pinholes around the edges and tears along the upper edge. Learn More about condition grades
