An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card #2 (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More)

Du Barry Was a Lady, the 1943 Roy Del Ruth romantic love triangle musical comedy ("The musical extravaganza in Technicolor that tops 'Great Ziegfeld' glory!"; loosely based on a Cole Porter Broadway musical, but it had to be heavily censored to be made into a movie; about a coatroom attendant who dreams he is back in 18th century France, chasing after the showgirl he loves in real life!) starring Red Skelton (as King Louis XV), Lucille Ball (in the title role as Madame Du Barry), Gene Kelly, Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra, Virginia O'Brien, 'Rags' Ragland, Zero Mostel (in his first movie role!), and Don Wilson. Note that this movie paired the greatest male and female TV slapstick comedians, Red Skelton and Lucille Ball! Note that there is a sequence in this movie with the "I Love a Vargas Girl" musical number with Red Skelton. MGM had famed pin-up artist Alberto Vargas pick out twelve beautiful models to each be a "month" in the above number, and Clarence Sinclair Bull photographed them against calendar backgrounds for each month. One of those twelve models was Hazel Brooks, who went on to a successful film career, but not as much for the other eleven!
NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Condition: good to very good. There are pinholes in the corners and faint scuffs in Skelton's jacket at middle left. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
