A 1948 Re-Release Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 17" [36 x 43 cm]) (Learn More)

San Francisco, the 1936 W.S. Van Dyke (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) California historical romantic melodrama ("They were born to fall in love!"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; it included a recreation of the famous San Francisco earthquake and fire!) starring Clark Gable, Jeanette MacDonald (billed as "Together for the first time in San Francisco"), Spencer Tracy (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Jack Holt, Ted Healy (most famous as the person who started The Three Stooges; they were first billed as "Ted Healy and his Stooges"; he let them go on their own, hiring replacement "Stooges", but that did not work out well at all!), Margaret Irving, and Jessie Ralph

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that the poster says "AN METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER MASTERPIECE REPRINT" in the bottom left. This was a terminology used by MGM at this time for some re-releases, and it has caused some collectors to be confused! This poster is an original poster from the 1948 re-release of this movie, and is NOT a "reprint"! Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 17" [36 x 43 cm]. Also 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: fair. The right 1" of the card was trimmed off and someone attached a piece from another card to that area with tape from the back and then re-created what was missing through amateur restoration (see our image).
