An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More)

Detour, the classic 1945 Edgar Ulmer crime film noir ("He went searching for love... but Fate forced a Detour to Revelry... Violence... Mystery!"; perhaps the best low budget film ever, about a man who is down on his luck and hitchhikes a ride, and he is led on a road to disaster, with a particularly unpleasant female companion; if you haven't seen this movie and you like film noir, it is a must!) starring Tom Neal (best remembered as the star of this film), Ann Savage, Claudia Drake, Edmund MacDonald, Tim Ryan, Esther Howard, Roger Clark, and Don Brodie

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this scene card, and the last one was 27 years ago! 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. There is a vertical scuff line running down the center of Neal's forehead, running down to the bottom blank border, and there is a much smaller and thinner scuff line in Savage's shoulder that runs down into the "U" of the title. There is staining on the back of the upper center of the card, but it has no effect on the front. Otherwise, the card is in pretty nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Please look at our super-sized images to get a good sense of the exact condition of this card.
