Date Sold 9/24/2024Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Temptress, the 1926 Fred Niblo & Mauritz Stiller silent South America romantic melodrama ("from the Novel by Vicente Blasco Ibanez"; filmed in the Mojave Desert, which stood in for the South American setting in the movie) starring Greta Garbo, Antonio Moreno, Marc McDermott, Lionel Barrymore, H.B. Warner, Armand Kaliz, and Roy D'Arcy. Mauritz Stiller was the Swedish director who came to the U.S. with Garbo, and he clashed with the MGM executives. He was fired ten days into production, and was replaced by Fred Niblo, and they are co-credited as the directors. Note that there are two things really interesting about this movie! The first is that the movie has a sad ending, and apparently, when Louis B. Mayer saw it, he was shocked, and had them film a new "happy" ending, and ordered that theaters be given the choice of showing the happy version or the sad version! Second, all of the original advertising for this movie prominently bills H.B. Warner as one of Garbo's lovers. Yet, all the major online databases do not mention Warner at all! Does that mean that his part was cut out of the movie (either before it was released or at a later time)? If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

We have only previously auctioned a window card, two lobby cards, and some stills from this movie (and NO other movie paper) until we received this third lobby card, which shows a different scene than the previous two! Also 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. Condition: good to very good. The card had just a few small tears and tiny paper loss in parts of the borders. It had greater paper loss scattered down the left blank border, but not reaching the border. It had a 1 1/2" tear in the center of the top border and an irregular crease in the middle right that went through the hair of the small border image of Garbo. There were tape stains in the left and right of the top blank border. Someone did some amateur restoration to the left blank border, replacing the missing paper, but leaving the rest of the card pretty much alone and without backing it.
