An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Since You Went Away, the 1944 John Cromwell World War II (WWII) Home Front romantic family melodrama ("David O. Selznick presents one of the greatest love stories of our time... Portrayed by the screen's most distinguished cast!"; "David O. Selznick presents his first production since 'Gone With The Wind' and 'Rebecca'"; "David O. Selznick in his first production since 'Gone With The Wind' and 'Rebecca' presents today's greatest love story... Big as America's heart... Poignant with separation, bright with hope, sparkling with laughter!"; based on the novel by Margaret Buell Wilder; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Claudette Colbert (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Jennifer Jones (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Joseph Cotten, Shirley Temple, Monty Woolley (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Lionel Barrymore, Robert Walker, Dorothy Dandridge, Hattie McDaniel, Alla Nazimova (in her last film appearance), Guy Madison, and Rhonda Fleming (in her second movie ever, in an uncredited role as "Girl at Dance"). Note that it is ironic that two of the leads in this movie, Robert Walker and Jennifer Jones, were married in real life, and it was producer David O. Selznick who was madly in love with Mrs. Jones, and his pursuit of her caused the couple to divorce during the filming of this movie, and she later married Mr. Selznick! Also note that this was actor Guy Madison's very first movie! He had one of the most unusual introductions to the movies ever. He was in the Coast Guard in 1944 at the age of 22, and while the this movie was being filmed, producer David O. Selznick wanted an unknown sailor for one of the important small parts, and he met Robert Moseley, and signed him on the spot, because of his good looks. They picked "Guy Madison" out of thin air, and billed him that way. After the movie was released, Madison received thousands of fan letters, and once he was out of the Coast Guard, he was signed to a contract, and he appeared in several movies in the late 1940s!
