Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper items from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a title card, a still, and a herald from this movie (and NO other movie paper) until we received this lobby card! 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. There are two punch holes in teh left blank border, with some creases, smudges, and blue pen writing around the edges. Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
