An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 13 3/4" [28 x 35 cm]) (Learn More)

Wife Vs. Secretary, the 1936 Clarence Brown romantic love misunderstanding comedy (about a happily married couple; the husband has a beautiful secretary, and the wife misunderstands something that happens and she thinks that her husband might be having an affair) starring Clark Gable, Jean Harlow (in the title role as the secretary, Helen Wilson), Myrna Loy (in the title role as the wife, Linda Stanhope), May Robson, George Barbier, James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart; in his fourth movie role!), Hobart Cavanaugh, and John Qualen. Note that Jean Harlow plays Clark Gable's secretary, and in the movie, he is madly in love with wife Myrna Loy, and it is only a misunderstanding that causes Loy to think there is something between Gable and Harlow, and the entire movie is very innocent. Note too that Harlow's boyfriend is played by an extremely young Jimmy Stewart!

Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card has been trimmed and it now measures 11" x 13 3/4" [28 x 35 cm]. 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: fair to good. There are stains and scuff marks in Gable's hair and cheek, extending into the top of his jacket. Someone trimmed a very tiny bit (perhaps 1/4") from the left edge of the left blank border. There are tiny tack holes in the corners, and some faint water staining scattered in the bottom border, with a few smudges around the edges, with a partial horizontal crease in the middle of the top border. We don't know if the stains on Gable's head and face can be removed chemically or will need to be painted over, and obviously, that needs to be determined by a talented professional. But other than the above, the card is in pretty good condition. Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
