Auction History Result 2s0256 TALE OF TWO CITIES LC 1935 Ronald Colman would give his life for Allan's happiness, rare! Date Sold 8/7/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, the classic 1935 Jack Conway & Robert Z. Leonard French Revolution London England/Paris France historical class struggle romantic love triangle melodrama ("Humanities greatest love story!"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; based on the classic novel by Charles Dickens) starring Ronald Colman (as Sydney Carton), Elizabeth Allan (as Lucie Manette), Edna May Oliver (as Miss Pross), Reginald Owen, Basil Rathbone, Blanche Yurka (as Madame De Farge), Henry B. Walthall, Donald Woods (as Charles Darnay), Lucille La Verne, Walter Catlett, and Isabel Jewell. Note that in earlier stage and screen versions of this classic movie, the parts of Sydney Carton and Charles Darnay were played by the same actor (to better explain how one could pass for the other), but in this version, those parts were played by two different actors, and this version is rightly considered a classic!

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: fair to good. The card was clearly in excellent condition with only tiny pinholes in the corners and one in the center of the top border. It was framed and displayed, and during that time, the reds of the card faded considerably, and the card also darkened. It did not affect the title and credits above it that much, but the yellows and reds in the rest of the card are very "muted", and this is extremely apparent when you compare this card to an unfaded example. The card still displays fairly well, but bear this considerable fading and darkening in mind before bidding on this card (and remember that other than the fading and darkening, it was in both excellent condition and never had any restoration).
