An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Higher and Higher, the 1943 Tim Whelan mistaken identity romantic musical comedy ("The Sinatra Show"; "The voice that's Thrilling The World teamed with a half dozen popular top-flight comedians in a glittering, glorious musical show - chock full of romance with haunting whistleable songs, dances, laughs!"; about a rich man who goes broke and can't pay his large staff, and they love him, so they come up with a harebrained scheme where one of them impersonates the formerly rich man's daughter to find a wealthy husband who can pay off their boss' debts) starring Michele Morgan, Jack Haley, Frank Sinatra (extremely young in this role), Leon Errol, Marcy McGuire, Paul Hartman, Grace Hartman, Barbara Hale, Dooley Wilson, Victor Borge, Mel Torme (just 18 years old, and in his first movie!), and Ivory Scott. Note that this was based on a Rodgers & Hart musical, which was a rare failure for them. RKO bought the rights, but then scrapped almost all the songs, and reshaped it as a vehicle for the hottest singer to come along in a decade, Frank Sinatra, who was making his feature film debut. The movie was billed as "The Sinatra Show", even though he had third billing! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card has been personally autographed (signed) by Mel Torme (this was his first movie, and he is prominently pictured, and he signed over his image)!
