Date Sold 12/14/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 8 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Singin' in the Rain, the classic 1952 Stanley Donen & Gene Kelly romantic musical comedy (considered by most the best musical of all time!; "What a glorious feeling"; "MGM's Technicolor Musical Treasure!"; "Suggested by the song 'Singin' In the Rain'"; about a Hollywood movie studio in the late 1920s that wants to begin making sound pictures, but their top leading lady has a dreadful voice, plus they have great difficulties adapting to the sound equipment; pretty young Debbie Reynolds comes along to dub in the singing voice of the primadonna leading lady, played to perfection by Jean Hagen) starring Gene Kelly (as Don Lockwood), Donald O'Connor (as Cosmo Brown), Debbie Reynolds (as Kathy Selden), Jean Hagen (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film; as Lina Lamont), Millard Mitchell (as R.F. 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"!

Important Added Info: Note that we have auctioned individual cards from this classic musical many times, but we have only once before auctioned a complete set! Condition: good. The cards are in pretty similar condition, with the title card in lesser condition than the scenes. The title card has tape stains, smudges, and some pinholes around the edges, with a scuff mark across the lower left of the image. It has a small scratch in Reynolds' mouth. It is in "fair" condition. The scene cards have pinholes in the corners and some have one or more in the borders, and they have varying amounts of smudges around the edges (a few have smudges within the images) and are mostly in "good to very good" condition. Obviously, these cards can have restoration performed! See our super-sized images to get a good sense of the condition of each card, and be sure to look at them prior to bidding.
