Badger silent mistaken identity romantic love triangle comedy (based on a story by Elinor Glyn, most famous as the author of "Three Weeks" and "It"; the title of this movie was an attempt to make a connection with her bestseller "Three Weeks"; about a beautiful young lady who sees a man driving a very expensive car, and she thinks he is rich, but actually, he is just driving his boss' car, and sparks fly between them; later she goes to a millionaire's house, who takes her swimming and hides her clothes, but the poor man she met earlier rescues her and they get married) starring Clara Bow ("the luscious, throbbing, captivating, red-head!"), Neil Hamilton, Harrison Ford (of course, not the same Harrison Ford that we know as an actor today, but a very popular leading man of the 1920s), Lucille Powers, Julia Swayne Gordon, William Holden (no, not THAT William Holden, but another actor of the same name who made 20 movies between 1920 and 1931, and he died the next year, which was 7 years before the more famous William Holden made his first movie!), and Edythe Chapman. Note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving complete copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned three examples of this window card, and one of them has been reconsigned to us, so this is still only one of three examples we have ever auctioned! Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 16 1/4" [36 x 41 cm]. Condition: good. The top blank area was completely trimmed off (there was no white border on the left, right, or bottom to begin with, so those three borders were not trimmed). The card had two tears near the center of the bottom border. The one in the very center had 2" of separation, with a crease above it. The other was a 5" diagonal tear to the right of the crease/tear to the left of it. Someone put tape on the back of both of those areas and they performed slight touch up to Bow's shoulder strap, where there was surface paper loss. They put tape on the back of three corners, but did not do any other restoration. There is some surface paper loss and small tears around the edges, with smudges in the top right background area. One could still display this card as it is, or one could choose to have restoration performed. Learn More about condition grades
