An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo, the 1935 Stephen Roberts Monaco romantic gambling casino comedy melodrama ("From the play by Ilia Surgutchoff and Frederick Albert Swann"; very loosely based on a true story; produced by Darryl F. Zanuck) starring Ronald Colman, Joan Bennett, Colin Clive, Nigel Bruce, Frank Reicher, Montagu Love, and Maurice Cass. Note that the "system" used by the man that actually "broke the bank" was simply a variation on continually doubling your bet on an even money proposition until you finally win, and then starting over again at one unit! Of course, the fatal "flaw" to this system is that eventually you run into an amazingly bad streak and then you either hit the casino limit, or you run out of money, or both!

Important Added Info: Note that there is writing on the back that reads "Property of Michael Ray Hawks", who most would consider the premier lobby card collector and expert in the world (and he is still an active collector, looking for the last few items he needs!). 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: fine. Note that this lobby card is in excellent condition and is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of the card! The new owner of this card will find it hard to believe that the card was not recently created, but we assure you it is 100% original from 1935, even though it has survived so amazingly well!
