Auction History Result 4s280 PRIVATE SCANDAL WC '34 Zasu Pitts, Phillips Holmes, Mary Brian, detective Ned Sparks Date Sold 4/14/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Private Scandal, the 1934 Ralph Murphy detective murder mystery crime melodrama (one of Zasu Pitts' rare starring roles; she is the secretary to an executive accused of murdering his boss, but she must prove that the man actually committed suicide, the reasons for which will embarrass those around him) starring Zasu Pitts, Phillips Holmes, Mary Brian, Ned Sparks, and Lew Cody. Note that Phillips Holmes had made an impression in some movies in the late 1920s. In 1931, he would get the lead in the first version of "An American Tragedy", which made it seem like he would become a major star, but that didn't materialize. He had a major affair with Libby Holman, but that was certainly complicated, and when they broke up, she immediately married his brother! Oddly, years later, Holman would have another very complicated affair with Montgomery Clift, who played the same part in the remake of "An American Tragedy", retitled "A Place in the Sun". Sadly, Holmes died in a plane crash in 1942. I am very surprised no one has made a movie about his life, or a joint movie about him and Libby Holman! 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: 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: fair. There is water staining scattered throughout the card and there is surface paper loss in Pitts' cheek and neck. Learn More about condition grades
