Rafael Sabatini's Scaramouche, the 1952 George Sidney swashbuckling romantic adventure thriller ("MGM's Spectacular Technicolor Masterpiece!"; "The big word in entertainment is Scaramouche pronounce adventure!"; "The mighty novel of love, laughter, adventure, even mightier on the screen!"; "Only MGM... Producer of 'Quo Vadis' ...could do it!"; "The Company that made "Quo Vadis" brings the world another spectacular romantic triumph!"; "With laughter on his lips and a sword in his hand, he plunged into the most perilous exploits of a romantic era!"; "He flung a challenge into the face of fate when he kissed the lips of enchanting women who conspired against him!"; "Based on the novel by Rafael Sabatini") starring Stewart Granger, Eleanor Parker, Janet Leigh, Mel Ferrer, Henry Wilcoxon, Nina Foch, Lewis Stone (in one of his final roles; who played a different role in the earlier 1923 Scaramouche!), Richard Anderson, Robert Coote, and Henry Corden (uncredited in the title role as Scaramouche). Note that the title refers to an Italian character that was a clown who pretended to be a hero in stage plays, and the lead character in this movie sort of plays that role at one point.

Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card has been personally autographed (signed) by BOTH Mel Ferrer AND Janet Leigh! Our consignor is a longtime dealer who acquired this signed item among many other purchases in his inventory, and he does not have a certificate of authenticity, but we believe the signatures to likely be authentic.

Also note that on this classic movie, and on several other major releases of the 1950s, MGM issued two entirely different sets of lobby cards! One set was the kind that is regularly seen. The other kind was a "photolobby" set with glossier color scenes from the movie, most often entirely different from the other set, and sometimes the photolobbies were black and white photos that had been hand-colored prior to production. The photolobbies are at least as rare as the regular lobby cards! Note that in the 1930s and 1940s, MGM issued yet a third kind of color 11" x 14", called a "color glos" 11" x 14", but these were on a photo paper, whereas the 1950s photolobbies are on regular lobby card-like stock.
