Auction History Result 4d0185 BLONDE CRAZY WC 1931 winking James Cagney with sexy Joan Blondell & Noel Francis, ultra rare! Date Sold 5/3/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Blonde Crazy, the 1931 Roy Del Ruth pre-Code romantic con man crime comedy ("Story by Kubec Glasmon and John Bright"; about a part time bellhop who schemes of hitting it big through various cons, and he falls for a pretty chambermaid, and together they fleece old Guy Kibbee, and go to the big city, where they tangle with a con man who knows more than they do!) starring James Cagney, Joan Blondell, Noel Francis, Ray Milland (24 years old, and in his third year of appearing in movies, but almost all of his previous roles were either uncredited or extremely minor, and yet he is billed on the posters!), Louis Calhern, Mae Clarke, Guy Kibbee, and Polly Walters. Note that it was movies like this that caused the Production Code to be put into place! For examples, in one scene, Joan Blondell is clearly naked in a bathtub, and Guy Kibbee walks in on her and she says she's taking a bath, and he says "move over!" NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a trolley card, a herald, six lobby cards, and some stills (and NO other movie paper) from this movie until we received this window card! Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good. The card has paper loss in the lower left border, extending into the background area and going up to the edge of the "B" but not entering it. It has three tears in the right half of the bottom border, and someone put a piece of tape on the back of the right two tears. There is a crease in the middle of the right border extending into Blondell's hair, with tiny surface paper loss in her cheek by the edge of her nose. The card is slightly discolored, and it is much more noticeable in the background areas. Obviously, this incredibly rare card can be restored, but please bear in mind all of the above and our super-sized image before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
