Simpson), and Cyd Charisse (unnamed, only referred to as "Dancer"). Note that this greatest of all Hollywood musicals had an odd beginning! The title song had been sung in "The Hollywood Revue of 1929" by Cliff Edwards, and that inspired this movie, and in addition, the song "Make 'Em Laugh" was basically plagiarized from "Be a Clown", from "The Pirate"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that on this classic movie, and on several other major releases of the 1950s, MGM issued two entirely different sets of lobby cards! One set was the kind that is regularly seen. The other kind was a "photolobby" set with glossier color scenes from the movie, most often entirely different from the other set, and sometimes the photolobbies were black and white photos that had been hand-colored prior to production. The photolobbies are at least as rare as the regular lobby cards! Note that in the 1930s and 1940s, MGM issued yet a third kind of color 11" x 14", called a "color glos" 11" x 14", but these were on a photo paper, whereas the 1950s photolobbies are on regular lobby card-like stock. Condition: very good. Each has some light creases mainly around the edges. They are otherwise in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
