An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) The Big Sleep, the classic 1946 Howard Hawks romantic crime film noir ("The picture they were born for!"; "A Warner hit!!!"; "From the novel by Raymond Chandler"; "Screen Play by William Faulkner, Leigh Brackett & Jules Furthman") starring Humphrey Bogart (as Philip Marlowe), Lauren Bacall, John Ridgely, Martha Vickers, Dorothy Malone, Louis Jean Heydt, Charles Waldron, Charles D. Brown, Bob Steele, Tom Fadden, Ben Welden, and Sonia Darrin. Note that not only did this movie have the direction of Howard Hawks and the great star power of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, but it also had the brilliant Raymond Chandler source novel, and a screenplay written by three great writers: Faulkner, Brackett, and Furthman!

Important Added Info: Note that we have only once before auctioned another example of this window card, and that one was in MUCH lesser condition (fair to good, with staining), and that one sold for for $1,250! Not only that, but this window card has a FAR superior image to that of the one-sheet (the one-sheet is one of the most unusual choices for an image, because it is not colorful and does not have an image that most people would want to hang on their wall). This window card has a great image of Bogart and Bacall, and certainly, because it is taken from the look-alike six-sheet, most collectors would choose to have the top and bottom blank areas matted over, and after proper framing (and restoration), it will look great on the new owner's wall! Note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: very good. The card has darkened slightly around the edges, but is otherwise in really nice condition!
