Auction History Result 9j0601 MOON OVER MIAMI TC 1941 Don Ameche, Bob Cummings, sexy pin-up art of Betty Grable! Date Sold 8/3/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Moon Over Miami, the 1941 Walter Lang Florida Everglades romantic musical ("Adaptation by George Seaton and Lynn Starling from a play by Stephen Powys"; "Lyrics and Music by Leo Robin & Ralph Rainger"; about two Texas girls losing an inheritance because of taxes and they travel to Miami to find rich husbands) starring Don Ameche, Betty Grable, Robert Cummings (Bob Cummings), Charlotte Greenwood, Jack Haley, Carole Landis, Cobina Wright Jr., Fortunio Bonanova, and Jack Cole. Note that Alberto Vargas did the artwork for the cover of the pressbook and the 24-sheet only on this movie, and both bear his signature. The pressbook explains that Vargas was commissioned to paint this image. Nowhere does it state that he did any of the other art for the movie, even though one of the one-sheets and the insert are often described as being Vargas art. It is my opinion that they are NOT drawn by Vargas, and certainly the pressbook backs that up. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that the artist who drew the great art of Grable on this title card is unknown, but it is surely not by Alberto Vargas (and it is the same artist that did one of the two one-sheets). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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 two pieces of tape on the back of border tears. There are some light water stains and tiny surface paper loss in the right blank border, with a few scuffs entering the "R" of "TECHNICOLOR". There is a pair of staple holes at top center. Otherwise, the card is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
