An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card #7 (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Royal Wedding (released in Australia as "Wedding Bells"), the 1951 Stanley Donen New York/England romantic dancing marriage musical ("MGM's gayest Technicolor Musical!"; "The story of a famed singing, dancing, brother and sister team!"; "Story and Screen Play by Alan Jay Lerner"; "Music by Burton Lane"; "Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner"; loosely based on the life of Fred Astaire and his sister Adele, and Fred got to play himself, and Jane Powell, who was 30 years younger than him, played his sister, when in real life, his sister was three years older than him!) starring Fred Astaire, Jane Powell, Peter Lawford, Sarah Churchill (daughter of Winston Churchill), Keenan Wynn, and Albert Sharpe. Note that this is the movie with the classic sequence where Fred Astaire literally dances all around a room, including both walls and the ceiling! Also note that Jane Powell is primarily known as a singing star, having started as a teen, but in this movie, she does quite a bit of dancing, and she does it quite well!

Important Added Info: 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. We are doing something in this set of auctions we rarely do! A couple of years ago, we were approached by a very long time collector, and he asked us if he could give us an entire auction of single lobby cards by himself. We agreed, and held that auction in 2017, and later that same year, a different collector sent us a different group of 999 lobby cards and we repeated the process. Now we have a third such "single owner" collection. This one was originally assembled in Australia, which is why some of the cards have either Australian paper snipes attached or Australian ratings stamps (but many do not have them). This collection originally contained 1,100 cards, and we auctioned 100 of them in our March Major Auction, and now we are auctioning the remaining 999 in THIS set of auctions, and after this auction, there will be no more cards to be offered. As will immediately be evident when you look at the cards, many of them are from titles where you almost never see any lobby cards, so this is a rare opportunity to acquire many cards that almost never are offered for sale or at auction! Condition: very good. There are some faint smudges and scuffs around the edges, with a few pinholes in the borders. 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
