Auction History Result 5j019 BELOVED BRAT WC 1938 aborted original title of Girls on Probation, very rare! Date Sold 4/3/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) The Beloved Brat, the 1938 Arthur Lubin troubled teen melodrama ("The sensation of the hour!"; "Are they the marked women of tomorrow?"; "From an original story by Jean Negulesco" a complicated story of a 13 year-old rich girl whose parents ignore her, and she has a black friend whose family treats her lovingly, but her parents forbid her to be with them, and she ends up in a car accident with her parents' butler, and she is sent to a progressive reform school where she changes her ways, and is able to get her parents to change theirs too, and to accept her black friends) starring Bonita Granville, Dolores Costello, Donald Briggs, Donald Crisp, and Matthew 'Stymie' Beard. Note that this movie has a very complicated origin! It was originally titled "Girls on Probation", which means that it likely had a somewhat different plot, but at some point after they began filming, they settled on the plot described above, at which point the movie's title was changed to "The Beloved Brat" (after first considering using the title "Too Much of Everything"). But almost surely because Warner Bros. had already announced that they would make "Girls on Probation" (and in fact, we have seen the window card and insert from that intended release), they went ahead and made a movie of that title to replace the changed one, which actually did center around girls on probation, and which starred Jane Bryan and Ronald Reagan! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this insert is actually for "The Beloved Brat" (see above). Apparently, Warner Bros. printed a few window cards and inserts with this working title, before changing the title (and to complicate matters, they re-used this title on a different movie!). Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good. There are nail holes and some tears around the edges, with paper loss in the top blank area. There are a few smudges and scuffs scattered throughout the image. The card has darkened somewhat (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
