An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Photolobby (11x14; LCs; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Citizen Kane, the classic 1941 Orson Welles (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) biographical newspaper journalism melodrama ("Some called him a hero... Others called him a heel"; "It's Terrific!"; loosely based on the life of William Randolph Hearst; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; many people consider it the finest movie ever made) starring Orson Welles (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Charles Foster Kane), with the members of Welles' "Mercury Actors", who had previously acted with him on stage, Joseph Cotten (as Jedediah Leland), Dorothy Comingore (as Susan Alexander Kane), Everett Sloane (as Mr. Bernstein), Ray Collins (as Jim W. Gettys), George Coulouris (as Walter Parks Thatcher), Agnes Moorehead (as Mary Kane, Kane's mother), Paul Stewart (as Raymond), Ruth Warrick (as Emily Monroe Norton Kane), Erskine Sanford (as Herbert Carter), William Alland (as Jerry Thompson), Fortunio Bonanova (as Signor Matiste), Buddy Swan (as Kane at age 8), Harry Shannon (as Kane's father), and Alan Ladd (in one of his early incredibly tiny parts, but he does have a single speaking line!)

Important Added Info: Note that on this movie, and on several other releases of the 1930s and 1940s, lesser studios sometimes issued a set of very different looking lobby cards! This was part of a "photolobby" set with a glossy color scene from the movie, and was printed on the type of paper used for 11x14 stills, not the type used for lobby cards. It is possible that some of these movies also had a regular lobby card set, but I believe in most cases there was only a photolobby set. NOTE THAT THIS PHOTOLOBBY WAS ONE OF A SMALL NUMBER OF CITIZEN KANE PHOTOLOBBIES THAT WERE FOUND A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO, AND OTHER THAN THIS SMALL FIND, I HAVE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF ANOTHER CITIZEN KANE PHOTOLOBBY! UPDATED 12/06/2010: Note that photolobbies that say "color-glos" were made in addition to the regular lobby card set, but the ones that don't say "color-glos" were likely the ONLY lobby cards made for that movie. So in the case of THIS movie, the photolobby offered here was from the "color-glos" lobby card set made for this movie, which was created in addition to the regular lobby card set. Condition: very good to fine. The photolobby had creases in the bottom left corner and some tiny creases in the other borders. There was a dot stain in the top right corner and tiny darkening in the top left corner, and a few faint creases scattered in the photolobby. Other than the above, the photolobby is in really nice condition! Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of the card!
