An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Jealousy, the 1934 Roy William Neill boxing sports romantic love triangle crime murder melodrama ("One man wanted the heart she gave another!"; a truly wacky story of a boxer whose fiancee refuses to marry him because of his insane jealousy; he swears he will never get jealous again, and she marries him, but he sees her together with her boss and he kills the boss; the wife is blamed for the murder, and she is about to be convicted, but then the boxer confesses, and he is given the death penalty; he is led to the electric chair, and he asks the priest to say a 10-count for him before he dies instead of the usual prayers; at the climax of the movie, the priest gets to the count of 9, and then the scene shifts and the boxer is in a ring laying unconscious, where he has just been counted out, and he had had a really terrible dream!) starring Nancy Carroll, George Murphy, Donald Cook, Raymond Walburn, Arthur Hohl, and Inez Courtney 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 this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Condition: good to very good. The poster had two long vertical tears. Both started in the left of Carroll's hair and one ran down the right edge of her features, and through her chin, and through the "o" of "Jealousy" down to the bottom border. The other ran down the middle of her cheek and through the middle of the "u" of "Jealousy" down to the bottom border. There were creases, tears, pinholes, smudges, and some faint stains around the edges of the card, with a few smudges, stains, and pinholes in the bottom third of the card. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was well backed by a talented restorer, who did not try to completely cover up all of the faint smudges and scuffs, and did not try to render the two long vertical tears invisible (and I agree with that decision, because to do so would have required lots of paint, which would have given the poster a "heavily restored" look, and I don't feel the signs of the restoration and the unrestored smudges and scuffs are all that distracting, and they help establish that this is a genuine 75 year-old original poster!). Obviously, one would prefer to find an example of this window card that had no defects or restoration, but I do not know if another example of this card exists (or if it does, if the owner would consider parting with it!). The poster was well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
