An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Roaring Twenties, the classic 1939 Raoul Walsh New York City post-World War I (WWI) Prohibition romantic love triangle organized-crime bootlegger gangster melodrama (based on the story 'The World Moves On' by Mark Hellinger; about three men who get out of the army after World War I, and two of them go into the bootlegging business, and they achieve great success, and one of them has an unrequited love for a woman!) starring James Cagney, Priscilla Lane, Humphrey Bogart, Gladys George, Jeffrey Lynn, Frank McHugh, Paul Kelly, and Al Hill NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we previously auctioned an example of this lobby card, and that was 30 years ago, when it sold for $990! We are also currently auctioning a different first release lobby card in a separate auction. 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 has darkened, typical of Warner Bros. linen lobby cards of this period. The top 2" of the card was trimmed off many years ago. The person who owned this card also owned a "dead card" from this movie (one that did not show Cagney or Bogart) where the top 2" was in pretty good condition, and they extremely neatly cut off the top 2" of the card, and they "married" the two pieces together, using tape on the back. They performed restoration with paint on the front of the card along the join line, and the green paint in the middle background area has not aged so badly, but the yellow paint on the left and right of that has aged terribly, and it is now extremely noticeable. Obviously, any talented restorer could perform new restoration to either just the yellow areas, or to the entire card. Either way, the card will display really well after restoration, and it will pretty much only have restoration in those exact areas, but bear all this in mind before bidding on this great card!
