An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 17 1/2" [36 x 44 cm]) (Learn More) Lassie Come Home, the classic 1943 Fred M. Wilcox collie canine dog family melodrama ("The picture that's true to life!"; "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Technicolor Triumph!"; "Based on the novel by Eric Knight, author of 'This Above All'"; "Eric Knight's great dog story 'Lassie Come Home'"; "All the thrilling and amazing tricks that made Lassie the most famous dog in the world.") starring Roddy McDowall, Donald Crisp, Dame May Whitty, Edmund Gwenn, Nigel Bruce, Elsa Lanchester, Lassie (in the title role), and Elizabeth Taylor. Note that this was Elizabeth Taylor's second movie, when she was 10 years old, and she had very low billing in this movie and the previous one. She would have two more movie roles with no billing at all in "Jane Eyre" and "White Cliffs of Dover", but then in 1945, she starred in "National Velvet", which made her a star. So her next movie, which was two years later, was a sequel to this movie called "Courage of Lassie", and she was given star billing, after having been seventh billed in this movie (and un-billed on the posters!)

Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 17 1/2" [36 x 44 cm]. Note that the window card was folded across the center at one time, but someone put tape on the back of that fold to reinforce it, and we believe that re-folding the window card would lessen its condition. The card will need to be sent in a large flat package. Condition: good. Most of the blank top was trimmed off. The card was roughly folded across the original middle, and there are many creases in that area. Someone put masking tape on the back of the fold, and it can't be re-folded. The card also has border wear. Obviously, one would prefer to find this incredibly rare card in better condition, but we don't know that another example exists. Learn More about condition grades
