An Original Vintage Theatrical Mini Movie Window Card (WC; measures 8" x 14" [20 x 36 cm]) (Learn More)

Hold Back the Dawn, the 1941 Mitchell Leisen romantic love triangle sham marriage melodrama ("Written by Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder from a story by Ketti Frings"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a Romanian gigolo who marries a naive American woman, to get his citizenship, planning on dumping her and re-joining his girlfriend, but then he falls in love with her!) starring Charles Boyer, Olivia de Havilland (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Paulette Goddard, Victor Francen, and Walter Abel. Note that both Olivia De Havilland and her sister, Joan Fontaine, were nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award in 1942, and Fontaine won for her performance in Suspicion. This further strained an already tenuous relationship between the sisters, and they never reconciled before Fontaine's death in 2013!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned two examples of this mini window card, but only one in the last 21 years!

Condition: fair to good. There are some stains around the edges and around a dozen tiny circular holes scattered in the image, but only two in the stars, one in Goddard's cheek and one in her hair (see our images).
