An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Jesse James, the classic 1939 Henry King Missouri biographical outlaw cowboy western ("You won't get a cash reward. But you'll see the greatest picture in years - when you see Jesse James"; produced by Darryl F. Zanuck; a highly fictionalized biography of the James brothers, and if you only saw this movie, you would think they were really nice heroic misunderstood guys who happened to rob a few banks and trains!; note that the movie ends with Jesse's brother Frank still alive, obviously so that 20th Century Fox could make their 1941 sequel, "The Return of Frank James"!) starring Tyrone Power Jr. (in the title role as Jesse James), Henry Fonda (as Frank James), Nancy Kelly, Randolph Scott, Henry Hull, Slim Summerville, J. Edward Bromberg, Brian Donlevy, John Carradine (as Bob Ford), Donald Meek, John Russell (as Jesse James Jr.), and Jane Darwell 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 one example of this cool reward poster style window card, and that was 9 years ago! Also note that the poster has the blank area at the bottom, very rare for window cards of this era (but obviously they did this so as to not detract from the great faux wanted poster above it!). 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: very good. The card was folded vertically at one time, and there were creases down that fold. A really talented restorer pressed and flattened the card, and that alone made the vertical fold almost invisible from the front. You can see slight signs of the vertical fold and the creases when you look closely at it, but from any reasonable viewing distance, they are hardly noticeable, and the card displays well.
