An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Palm Beach Story, the classic 1942 Preston Sturges Florida screwball romantic love triangle comedy ("What a life for a runaway wife!"; perhaps Sturges' best; about a husband and wife who pretend they are not married so that the wife can romance a millionaire, and the millionaire's sister romances the husband, and things get extremely confused, and extremely funny!; this is one of Preston Sturges' best movies, and a highlight is the scene where Colbert and McCrea try to keep from getting back together, but Vallee unwittingly causes that to happen with his wonderful rendition of "Goodnight Sweetheart") starring Claudette Colbert, Joel McCrea, Mary Astor, Rudy Vallee, William Demarest, and Monte Blue. Note that Preston Sturges wanted this movie called "Is Marriage Necessary?", but the Production Code Office vetoed that! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card has been personally autographed (signed) by ALL FOUR stars: Claudette Colbert, Joel McCrea, Mary Astor, AND Rudy Vallee! Only an obsessive collector like David Gest (who had the interest and the ability to meet all four of these celebrities) could possibly have obtained all four signatures on one card, and it is incredibly unlikely that another example of this card exists with all four signatures! 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. Our consignor purchased this (and two other signed lobby cards, which are in separate auctions) from an estate sale of some of David Gest's belongings, including many lobby cards. Mr. Gest was a lobby card collector since the 1970s, and he was a close personal friend of Michael Jackson's (and later married to Liza Minnelli!), and he certainly had many opportunities to meet the celebrities who signed his cards, so we feel 100% certain that the three autographed lobby cards we are offering from his collection in separate auctions are genuine (but the auction house our consignor purchased them from did not issue certificates of authenticity). Condition: very good. The card has some creases around the edges but is otherwise in really nice condition. Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
