Note that MGM took a great chance in casting W.C. Fields in the role of Micawber. No doubt everyone expected Fields to greatly ham up the role, and turn this serious subject into slapstick, but instead, he gave a wonderful performance, and added greatly to the movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that W.C. Fields accepted the minor role of Micawber in this major MGM production, and since he was not one of the lead stars, he is not featured prominently on the posters, and he only appears on this single lobby card from the set, which shows a wonderful portrait of Fields! 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 to very good. There are tiny pinholes in the corners and two in the top background area. There are smudges and scuffs in the lower left of the card and smudges around the edges. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
