An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More)

Charlie McCarthy, Detective, the 1939 Frank Tuttle ventriloquist newspaper journalism reporter murder mystery crime screwball comedy ("Original story by Robertson White and Darrell Ware"; about a newspaper editor and a mobster who are murdered, and a reporter is suspected, and another reporter asks his friend Edgar Bergen to solve the murder, with "help" from his dummy Charlie McCarthy!) starring Edgar Bergen & Charlie McCarthy (who wears a Sherlock Holmes-like outfit, including hat, throughout the movie!), Mortimer Snerd, Robert Cummings (Bob Cummings), Constance Moore, John Sutton, Louis Calhern, Edgar Kennedy, Warren Hymer, Samuel S. Hinds, Harold Huber, and Ray Turner
NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Condition: good to very good. The bottom right corner of the card is lightly rippled (extending into the image of Bergen & Snerd), but it is truly not at all noticeable from the front, and is more "felt" than seen. There are some brown discolorations in the bottom blank border, more so in the center of the blank border. There are pinholes in the corners and some smudges across the top 1" of the card. There are a few smudges in the left and right blank borders and a pinhole right near the center of the card. All of the above defects are truly minor, and really do not detract from the enjoyment of this great lobby card!
