Auction History Result 4y0259 MIRACLE OF MORGAN'S CREEK 7 signed LCs 1943 ALL autographed by Eddie Bracken AND Betty Hutton! Date Sold 8/29/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Group of 7 Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Miracle of Morgan's Creek, the classic 1944 Preston Sturges romantic pregnancy screwball comedy ("Here's the Funniest Picture Ever Made!"; "Famous comics say... The funniest picture ever!"; "The True Story of Trudy Kockenlocker who kissed the Boys Goodbye... Regiment By Regiment"; "Bob Hope says... 'The best film I ever tasted- I ate it up!'"; "In Paramount's Miracle of Mirth!") starring Eddie Bracken ("The miracle man who rocked the world - with laughter!"), Betty Hutton, Diana Lynn, William Demarest, Porter Hall, Brian Donlevy (billed as "McGinty", which is a reference to the role he played in Sturges' earlier hit The Great McGinty), Akim Tamiroff (billed as "The Boss", which is a reference to the role he played in Sturges' earlier hit The Great McGinty), and Frank Moran. I don't recall EVER seeing an actor billed in a movie where his name is left off of the poster entirely! I suppose Sturges thought this was very funny, and likely Donlevy and Tamiroff agreed to do it because he asked them! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that ALL of these lobby cards have been personally autographed (signed) by BOTH Eddie Bracken AND Betty Hutton! Our consignor purchased these lobby cards (and several others, which are in separate auctions) from an estate sale of some of David Gest's belongings, including many lobby cards. Mr. Gest was a lobby card collector since the 1970s, and he was a close personal friend of Michael Jackson's (and later married to Liza Minnelli!), and he certainly had many opportunities to meet the celebrities who signed these cards, so we feel 100% certain that the autographs are genuine (but the auction house our consignor purchased them from did not issue certificates of authenticity). Condition: very good to fine. The cards have varying amounts of very minor border wear (smudges, scuffs, and a very few creases), but are overall in really nice condition. Please look closely at our super-sized images to see the exact condition of each of these cards. Note that these cards are completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of any of them! Learn More about condition grades
