An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Montana Moon, the 1930 Malcolm St. Clair cowboy western musical comedy ("A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer All-Talking Picture"; not that much of a cowboy movie!; Joan is a girl from a big Montana city who goes to New York for a party, and she is on the train coming back, and she meets a cowboy in a small western town, and she impulsively marries him, but then she dances for other cowboys, and kisses one of them, and her husband gets in a fight with that guy and leaves; later, bandits hold up the train she is on, going back to where she lived, but it turns out the head of the bandits is her new husband, who has come to reclaim her!) starring Joan Crawford ("Her Singing, Outdoor Western Hit!"), Johnny Mack Brown (billed as "John Mack Brown"), Dorothy Sebastian, Benny Rubin, and Cliff Edwards 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 window card measures 13 3/4" x 22", but was not trimmed. MGM window cards at this time (the late 1920s and the very early 1930s) had no blank borders and measured slightly smaller than a traditional window card. 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 creases, smudges, stains, tears, pinholes, and some tiny areas of paper loss around the edges, slightly extending into the image background and in the lettering in a few places. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, because you can see slight signs of the restoration of the above defects, but from a reasonable viewing distance, they are not very distracting, and the poster does not have a "restored" look.
