Note that this movie has many of the plot elements of "It's a Wonderful Life", set against a World War II background, and it clearly served as a parable to show World War II audiences why they were fighting and why they needed to accept the sacrifices of individual family members for the good of the country!

Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good to very good. There are some faint water stains in the background area by the title and a few in the borders, but otherwise, the card is in pretty good condition! Learn More about condition grades
