An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 18") (Learn More) No Greater Glory, the 1934 Frank Borzage Germany juvenile futility-of-war melodrama ("The screen's mightiest soul-stirring triumph!"; "from the world-famous novel by.. Ferenc Molnar"; set in a German inner city, where there are two rival gangs of teenagers who fight for possession of a playground; they form into armies, and have many fierce battles, and ultimately, one side wins, but one of their leaders dies as that happens; it is revealed at the end that it was all for nothing, because the playground is about to be bulldozed to make room for a new building!) starring George P. Breakston, Jimmy Butler, Jackie Searl, Frankie Darro and Donald Haines. Note that it seems likely that the writers of "West Side Story" borrowed heavily from this Molnar play (which they merged with Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet")!

Important Added Info: Note that this window card has been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 18". 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 window card originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this was commonly done with window cards, when the top had been left blank, or when someone had hand-scrawled play date information in that area). Most collectors do not consider it to be a significant defect at all, since only blank white paper is lost, and the window card becomes easier to frame. The entire card has darkened and there are tears around the edges of the card (which were repaired with ancient tape on the back). Learn More about condition grades
