An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Herald (measures 6 3/4" x 6 3/4" [17 x 17 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More)

The Shop Around the Corner, the classic 1940 Ernst Lubitsch Budapest Hungary mistaken identity romantic comedy ("Great News! The new film hit by the producer of 'Ninotchka' is here!"; with a wonderful screen play by Samson Raphaelson; about two store employees who search for love through the mail, and they think they found their soulmates, not knowing that it is actually their fellow employee that they can't get along with!) starring James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart; as Mr. Kralik), Margaret Sullavan (as Klara Novak), Frank Morgan (as Mr. Matuschek), Joseph Schildkraut (as Mr. Vadas), Sara Haden, Felix Bressart (as Pirovitch), William Tracy (as Pepi Katona), Inez Courtney, Sarah Edwards, Edwin Maxwell, Charles Halton, and Charles Smith (as Rudy). Note that there was a musical remake of this movie in 1949 with Judy Garland and Van Johnson (as "In the Good Old Summertime"), and another in 1998 with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan (as "You've Got Mail"), but neither of those captured the magic of the original. If you want to see a wonderful movie, see this one!

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this herald!

This is one of an excellent collection of 27 rare heralds from the late 1930s and early 1940s which was recently discovered. Many of them are ones we have either never auctioned before or only auctioned once or twice. The heralds were all printed in the U.S., but were mostly used in theaters in Egypt, so most have overprinting on the back for an Egyptian movie theater. Also, almost all of the heralds have either tiny circular holes scattered in the image (sometimes very few, sometimes more), and some of them have larger paper loss somewhere in the image. We strongly suggest you look closely at our images of the fronts and backs of these rare heralds before bidding on them, so you can see the location of the tiny circular holes or larger paper loss.

Condition: good. There are ten tiny circular holes scattered in the herald. See above for more about the condition of this herald and please look at our super-sized images of both sides before bidding.
