An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) What Price Glory, the 1926 Raoul Walsh silent World War I (WWI) United States Marine Corps (USMC) military romantic love triangle comedy ("The World's Greatest Motion Picture"; "From the stage triumph by Laurence Stallings and Maxwell Anderson"; a very gritty tale of two Marines who keep fighting for the same pretty woman, and the movie showed a very realistic view of Marines that outraged censors and made the movie a major success, and it spawned two sequels where McLaglen and Lowe played the same characters, "Cock-Eyed World" and "Women of All Nations") starring Edmund Lowe, Victor McLaglen, Dolores Del Rio, William V. Mong, Phyllis Haver, "And a Superb Cast". Note that the world premiere program for this movie mentions that "18 of the 40 men now alive who went into Belleau Woods during the famous battle appear in the movie". It also mentions that "85% of the men playing soldiers in this movie are actual war veterans who fought overseas" and that "every gun, cannon, grenade and other implement of war used" in the movie were actually used in World War I! Also note that John Ford remade this movie in 1952, with James Cagney in the lead role. 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 first release 1926 movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned even a single poster (only stills and lobby cards) from this movie until we received this window card! Also note that this window card was never folded. 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. The card has a circular area of water staining in the top center that is mostly in the top blank area, but extends down into the red background and slightly into the top of the word "FOX". The paper is damaged on the front of the card in the area in the bottom center of the top play dates area, and there are scuffs below that, with a diagonal scratch mark running down to the helmet. There are small nail holes in the top blank area, one in the helmet, one in the soldier's ear, and five others in the middle and lower part of the image. Other than these defects, and some small faint stains scattered in the card, the card is in pretty nice condition. It is an excellent candidate for restoration, because once it has the above defects corrected, it will display fantastically, and it won't require much paint restoration within the image.
