Wodehouse"; oddly, this was a remake of a 1919 movie based on a P.G. Wodehouse story, with much music by George and Ira Gershwin; the grafting of musical comedy onto a serious story was not received well at the box office, but the movie is worth seeing for its great star power) starring Fred Astaire, George Burns & Gracie Allen (Burns & Allen of 1950s TV fame!), Joan Fontaine, Reginald Gardiner, Ray Noble, Constance Collier, Montagu Love, and Harry Watson NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this mini window card, which has an image that we don't think appeared on any other poster for this movie! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a heavy paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. What IS paperbacking?

Prior to paperbacking, the card had a fine razor cut running from the bottom of Astaire's arm holding the sword down to the bottom border, just slightly touching the edge of Gracie's chin. It had some pinholes, stains, and smudges around the edges and a pinhole in Astaire's leg. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
