Auction History Result 8z183 BLACK FRIDAY LC 1940 creepy Bela Lugosi & pretty Anne Nagel waiting behind curtain, Universal Date Sold 9/12/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Black Friday, the 1940 Arthur Lubin Universal mad scientist crime murder horror thriller (a wild story of a mad scientist, played by Boris Karloff, whose friend is badly injured in a car crash by a gangster who is fatally wounded, and the scientist is able to save his friend by transplanting part of the brain of the dead gangster into his friend's brain!; unfortunately, his friend then takes on both his own personality and that of the dead gangster, and he becomes a "Jekyll & Hyde", and when he is the gangster, he is seeking revenge against his gang members, including Bela Lugosi in a surprisingly minor role!) starring Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Stanley Ridges, Anne Nagel, Anne Gwynne, and James Craig. Note that Universal incredibly deceptively advertised this movie! The movie was pre-sold as a Karloff/Lugosi film even though Lugosi only has a small part. They gave Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi equal top billing, and the one-sheet has large head shots of both stars, and poor Stanley Ridges, who was actually the star of the movie, is not even pictured on the poster, although they found room for an image of Anne Nagel!

Important Added Info: We have been consigned an entire set of cards from this movie (perhaps the same set we auctioned 25 years ago), and we are auctioning it in eight separate auctions. 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. Condition: good. The left 4" of the card was folded over at one time, and there are many creases and scuffs on and around that fold, including in Lugosi's face and jacket. There are also creases and scuffs in the rest of the image, as well as a scratches in the left edge of the face of the man at right. There are also creases, pinholes, and small tears around the edges, with tape repairs on the back of a tear in the left border. There is a piece of tape on the back of the center of the top border, but it was not put there for any restoration purpose.
