An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More)

Black Friday, the 1940 Arthur Lubin Universal mad scientist crime murder horror thriller (a wild story of a mad scientist, played by Boris Karloff, whose friend is badly injured in a car crash by a gangster who is fatally wounded, and the scientist is able to save his friend by transplanting part of the brain of the dead gangster into his friend's brain!; unfortunately, his friend then takes on both his own personality and that of the dead gangster, and he becomes a "Jekyll & Hyde", and when he is the gangster, he is seeking revenge against his gang members, including Bela Lugosi in a surprisingly minor role!) starring Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Stanley Ridges, Anne Nagel, Anne Gwynne, and James Craig. Note that Universal incredibly deceptively advertised this movie! The movie was pre-sold as a Karloff/Lugosi film even though Lugosi only has a small part. They gave Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi equal top billing, and the one-sheet has large head shots of both stars, and poor Stanley Ridges, who was actually the star of the movie, is not even pictured on the poster, although they found room for an image of Anne Nagel!

Important Added Info: Note that there is a stamp on the back that reads "FROM THE COLLECTION OF Michael R. Hawks", who most would consider the premier lobby card collector and expert in the world (and he is still an active collector, looking for the last few items he needs!). 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: very good. There are some light stains on the back of the card, but the only stains on the front of the card are in the bottom blank border, scattered across that area. There are two small tears in the left blank border and a tiny stain and the tiniest bit of paper loss in the top blank border. Otherwise, the card is in nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
