An Original Vintage Lobby Card #8 (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More)

What a Guy, the 1948 all-black-cast comedy ("with the stars of 'Anna Lucasta' in the laff comedy of the year!") starring Mantan Moreland, Monte Hawley, Lawrence Criner, Ruby Dee (she is pictured twice on the lobby card, with her name under the artwork image of her!), Jouhn Bouie, and Laurence Criner. Note that a knowledgeable collector tell us that this movie, along with three other Moreland vehicles, was produced by Lucky Star Productions. The problem with race films was finding exhibitors to get the product in appropriate theaters for intended viewers. Toddy had a lot of experience in this and a positive image with the African-American movie theater circuit, so this film went out under the Toddy banner for maximum exposure.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned five lobby cards from this movie, and we have never before auctioned THIS scene 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 glue stains on the back of each corner, one with clear tape over it. There is a 2" tear at middle right that was repaired with tape from the back. There are creases, tiny tears, and slight darkening in the right border.
