An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 17" [36 x 43 cm]) (Learn More) Intermezzo: A Love Story, the 1939 Gregory Ratoff romantic love triangle music infidelity melodrama ("As magic as your own surrender to love..."; "An interlude of brief enchantment seized from tomorrow's uncertainty. Dramatized with a romantic new star team... Drawn not from yesterday's story books but from the living world of today."; "An intense and absorbing tale, with the wide, powerful sweep of a great human document... teeming with the passionate and the genial and the bittersweet..."; "Millions of people share the heart-gripping problems portrayed by these three"; about a famous violinist having an affair with a young girl) starring Leslie Howard, Ingrid Bergman (billed as "Introducing Ingrid Bergman"), Edna Best, John Halliday, Cecil Kellaway, Enid Bennett, and Ann E. Todd. Note that producer David O. Selznick was certain that Ingrid Bergman would be a huge star when he signed her to a contract in 1938, having seen her Swedish movies. To play it safe, for her first U.S. movie, he chose to re-make one of her earlier Swedish successes, "Intermezzo", which she had made in 1936 with an all-Swedish cast, in Swedish of course. Selznick's instincts were correct (as he had been so often before, and would be again), and Bergman DID become a huge international star! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

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 to very 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 card has darkened.
