An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Moon Over Burma, the 1940 Louis King Asia romantic love triangle jungle melodrama ("Blazing with the fervor of Burma love and crackling with the jungle tempo of thrills!"; "Ready to love or fight... at a moment's notice!"; "Based on a story by Wilson Collison") starring Dorothy Lamour, Robert Preston, Preston Foster, Doris Nolan, and Albert Basserman. Note that the "sarong girl" image that Dorothy Lamour had started a few years earlier was apparently growing old, because in the studio publicity for this movie, she was called the "new" Dorothy Lamour, and they said "Gone are the studied languor, the posing, and the sarong! This time she swaps cracks at every turn with her co-stars and maintains her high reputation as a singer". Also note that when this movie was being filmed, it had two elephants in it that had been used for many movies, named Sally and Queenie. During filming, they were tragically killed in a fire, and the studio needed more footage with an elephant, so they took a different elephant, Duchess, and put paint on her to make her look more like one of the elephants that had passed away!

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: poor to fair. The card has scattered staining throughout. Learn More about condition grades
