Auction History Result 7j0723 MYSTERIOUS ISLAND LC 1929 diver surrounded by wacky underwater humanoids, ultra rare! Date Sold 10/22/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Mysterious Island, the 1929 Lucien Hubbard science fiction (sci-fi) fantasy adventure thriller ("The stunning underwater film drama"; "Two years in the making!"; "From the book by Jules Verne"; "Photographed by Technicolor Process") starring Lionel Barrymore, Lloyd Hughes, Jacqueline Gadsdon (billed as "Jane Daly"), Montagu Love, and Harry Gribbon. Note that this movie has a very unusual history. It apparently started filming in 1926, but there were significant weather-related problems, and by the time production resumed, sound movies were in vogue, and so the movie was mostly re-shot, and was not released until three years later, in 1929. Apparently, Benjamin Christensen was the original 1926 director, but was replaced along the way, and Maurice Tourneur directed what was filmed in 1927, and the movie was finished by director Lucien Hubbard! Also, apparently Conrad Nagel was slated to star in the movie in 1926, but was replaced by Lloyd Hughes somewhere between 1926 and 1929, as he is not billed as being in the movie, and yet we have sold more than one still from the movie that announces he will "play the leading role in Mysterious Island"!

Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: good to very good. The card had some creases and tiny staple holes around the edges, with a few very faint stains scattered in the lower part of the image. Someone pressed and flattened the card and performed restoration to the above without backing it. After it was restored, it acquired a 1/2" tear in the left of the top border that can easily be mended, or certainly, it could be left as it is. Learn More about condition grades
