Cecil B. DeMille's The Sign of the Cross, the classic 1932 Cecil B. DeMille early Christians-vs-Romans religious romantic love triangle action adventure epic ("A picture which will proudly lead all the entertainments the world has ever seen"; "Superb road-show dramatic spectacle"; "The First Big Spectacle of Talking Pictures"; "From the play by Wilson Barrett") starring Fredric March (as Marcus Superbus), Elissa Landi, Claudette Colbert (as Empress Poppaea), Charles Laughton (as Emperor Nero), Ian Keith, Tommy Conlon, Vivian Tobin, and a "Cast of Thousands"

Important Added Info: Note that we have seen lobby cards for this movie that have a 1932 copyright in the bottom left corner, and others that have a 1933 copyright. This is because the movie premiered in New York City in November 1932 and in Los Angeles in December 1932, but did not play in the rest of the country until February 1933 (this was common practice for major movies at this time). So there were lobby cards printed at the end of 1932 and also at the beginning of 1933, and this is one of the cards that was printed in 1933 (and it is not a "re-release", because the movie was in its continuous first release throughout that time). Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has.

UPDATED 03/23/2016: Note that we have updated the Condition information.


Condition: good to very good. There is a pen mark in the center of the top border, with some tiny creases and tiny staple holes in the top and bottom borders, and a few faint smudges in the left and right blank borders. There is a pencil mark on March's arm, the number 6 is written in pencil in the upper right corner, there is a smudge on Colbert's temple, and there are the tiniest of pinholes in March's upper lip. Otherwise, the card is in nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
