An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Photolobby (11x14; LCs; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Go West, the 1940 Edward Buzzell musical Native American Indian cowboy western screwball comedy ("Rip-Roaring with Laughs, Girls, Songs!"; set in 1870) starring The Marx Brothers (Groucho Marx, Chico Marx, and Harpo Marx), John Carroll, Diana Lewis, June MacCloy, Walter Woolf King, Robert Barrat, and Mitchell Lewis NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned ANY photolobbies from this movie! Not only that, but these "photolobbies" were mostly created by 20th Century-Fox between 1935 and 1948. Apparently, MGM made just a very few like these in 1939 to 1941 (this is the fourth MGM title we have ever had). MGM apparently quit this in 1941 (perhaps because they couldn't get the paper stock anymore due to World War II), but in the early 1950s, they resumed making photolobby sets, but those were printed in a different way with much better color. Here is more about photolobbies: Note that on this classic movie, and on several other major releases of the 1950s, MGM issued two entirely different sets of lobby cards! One set was the kind that is regularly seen. The other kind was a "photolobby" set with glossier color scenes from the movie, most often entirely different from the other set, and sometimes the photolobbies were black and white photos that had been hand-colored prior to production. The photolobbies are at least as rare as the regular lobby cards! As noted above, between between 1939 and 1941, MGM issued yet a third kind of color 11" x 14", called a "color glos" 11" x 14", but these were on a photo paper, whereas the 1950s photolobbies are on regular lobby card-like stock. Condition: good to very good. There is a stain near the top center of the inset image, with pinholes, creases, and a few tiny stains in the blank white areas. Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
