Auction History Result 5t0316 THIS WOMAN IS MINE 8 LCs 1935 lion tamer Ratoff loves girl who doesn't love him, ultra rare! Date Sold 9/15/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 8 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) 18 Minutes, (release in the U.S. as "This Woman is Mine"), the 1935 Monty Banks English/U.S. romantic love triangle circus melodrama (about a lion tamer in a circus who buys a lion that killed its trainer and also adopts the orphan daughter of the trainer; she grows up and he falls in love with her, but she falls for a suave magician, and he desperately tries to win her back by having an exciting new act where he tames lions while handcuffed, but during his act, she goes to be with the magician, and he is so distraught that he turns his back on the lions, who instantly kill him) starring Gregory Ratoff, Richard Bennett, Benita Hume, John Loder, and Katharine Sergava (a famous European ballerina who appeared in a handful of movies). Note that there is an oddity about this movie. As noted above, Katharine Sergava was a European ballerina who played the lead role of the young woman in this movie. Yet she is not billed on the only first release U.S. poster for this movie we have ever seen, although the poster does show an image of Sergava. We wonder if she spoke little or no English, and that she had few lines in the movie (this could also explain why her movie career was so limited). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that first release movie paper for this title is ultra rare to find! Not only is this the first time we have auctioned any first release lobby cards from this film, but we have also ONLY auctioned one other item from the first release of this movie (and that was a window card!). Also note that that this set of cards which includes the printed envelope this set originally came with, is one of one of a remarkable group of FIFTEEN sets that were recently discovered! All are from 1934 and 1935, and each is in remarkable condition. This is a wonderful opportunity to get complete sets in the best possible condition, and this may not occur again for quite some time (there were only two other sets in this find, "The Phantom Empire", and "Devil Dogs of the Air", and we previously auctioned those two sets by the card). Once these sets are sold there will be no more cards from this find! Condition: very good to fine. The cards have extremely slight darkening in the edges of the blank borders and the card that was on top has slight darkening. Otherwise the cards are in wonderful condition (see our images).
