Auction History Result 7j0724 MYSTERIOUS ISLAND LC 1929 Lionel Barrymore, Jacqueline Gadsdon, Montagu Love, ultra rare! Date Sold 10/22/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Mysterious Island, the 1929 Lucien Hubbard science fiction (sci-fi) fantasy adventure thriller ("The stunning underwater film drama"; "Two years in the making!"; "From the book by Jules Verne"; "Photographed by Technicolor Process") starring Lionel Barrymore, Lloyd Hughes, Jacqueline Gadsdon (billed as "Jane Daly"), Montagu Love, and Harry Gribbon. Note that this movie has a very unusual history. It apparently started filming in 1926, but there were significant weather-related problems, and by the time production resumed, sound movies were in vogue, and so the movie was mostly re-shot, and was not released until three years later, in 1929. Apparently, Benjamin Christensen was the original 1926 director, but was replaced along the way, and Maurice Tourneur directed what was filmed in 1927, and the movie was finished by director Lucien Hubbard! Also, apparently Conrad Nagel was slated to star in the movie in 1926, but was replaced by Lloyd Hughes somewhere between 1926 and 1929, as he is not billed as being in the movie, and yet we have sold more than one still from the movie that announces he will "play the leading role in Mysterious Island"!

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: very good. The card had some creases in the top blank border and some minor wear in the other borders. It appears that someone pressed and flattened the card, and perhaps did slight border restoration, but the card was in nice condition prior to the restoration, and it displays well!
