An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Navy Blue and Gold: The Love Story of Annapolis, the 1937 Sam Wood Maryland romantic love triangle military Navy U.S. Naval Academy comedy ("The Love Story of Annapolis!"; a story of three plebes at the Naval academy, and their struggles to graduate and find romance too; sort of a 1937 version of "An Officer and a Gentleman") starring James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart), Robert Young, Lionel Barrymore, Florence Rice, Billie Burke, Tom Brown, Samuel S. Hinds, Paul Kelly, and Barnett Parker. Note that in the 1920s and 1930s, you could only get into Annapolis by getting an appointment from a congressman or senator, and you needed 20/20 vision, so it was a very exclusive place to go, and also while at the academy, students could not be married, so there would often be dozens of weddings the day after graduation, because their girlfriends had become pregnant!

Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this first release window card! Likely this is because the movie received a very quick re-release at the end of 1941 (no doubt because the U.S. entered World War II), and that made the first release 1937 paper extremely rare.) We have auctioned a 1941 re-release window card, but never this first release one. Also note that the card measures very slightly under 14" x 22" (an extremely tiny amount in each direction!) and has no left, right, or bottom blank borders, but it has NOT been trimmed (this was done at a time when MGM was experimenting with having as few borders as possible). 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. There are some stains scattered throughout the card (see our image).
