Auction History Result 1b537 LUCKY NIGHT WC '39 romantic artwork of Myrna Loy & Robert Taylor, gambling! Date Sold 3/24/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Lucky Night, the 1939 Norman Taurog rich-girl/poor-man casino gambling romantic comedy ("Head over heels in love!"; about the daughter of a rich man who decides to see what it is like to work for a living, but she hates it, until she meets a broke gambler, and together they go on a drunken winning streak, which gets them lots of money, but finds them married; she wants to settle down, but he doesn't, and she leaves him, but when he goes after her and spends a night with her father, getting him drunk, her father convinces her to return to him) starring Myrna Loy, Robert Taylor, Joseph Allen, Henry O'Neill, and Douglas Fowley. Note that this was the first time Myrna Loy and Robert Taylor appeared together in a movie! Also note that Joseph Allen was the son of a silent actor, Joseph Allen, Sr., who made many movies and basically retired with the coming of sound. When his son, Joseph Allen, Jr., first started acting, he was billed as "Allen Brooks", no doubt not wanting to take advantage of his father's success. But beginning with this movie, he originally intended to be billed as "Joseph Allen, Jr.", but something must have happened, because the one-sheets we have seen from this movie have him credited that way, but oddly, the "Jr." is overprinted, but not the comma after his name, so he is very oddly billed as "Joseph Allen,"! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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 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: poor to fair. There are many stains scattered in the card, especially in the bottom of the card, affecting much of Loy's image and the bottom left credits. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored! Learn More about condition grades
