An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Citizen Kane, the classic 1941 Orson Welles (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) biographical newspaper journalism melodrama ("Some called him a hero... Others called him a heel"; "It's Terrific!"; loosely based on the life of William Randolph Hearst; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; many people consider it the finest movie ever made) starring Orson Welles (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Charles Foster Kane), with the members of Welles' "Mercury Actors", who had previously acted with him on stage, Joseph Cotten (as Jedediah Leland), Dorothy Comingore (as Susan Alexander Kane), Everett Sloane (as Mr. Bernstein), Ray Collins (as Jim W. Gettys), George Coulouris (as Walter Parks Thatcher), Agnes Moorehead (as Mary Kane, Kane's mother), Paul Stewart (as Raymond), Ruth Warrick (as Emily Monroe Norton Kane), Erskine Sanford (as Herbert Carter), William Alland (as Jerry Thompson), Fortunio Bonanova (as Signor Matiste), Buddy Swan (as Kane at age 8), Harry Shannon (as Kane's father), and Alan Ladd (in one of his early incredibly tiny parts, but he does have a single speaking line!) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good. The card is near perfect, except for the following defects. It has staining and paper loss in the upper right corner (solely in the blank border). It has small stains in the left of the top border and scattered in parts of the right border. It has a pinhole in the top left corner of the yellow background and one in the center of the bottom blank border. It has faint smudges in some of the yellow background. No restoration was done to this card. I understand why, because it is extremely "crisp" and has a completely unused feel, and it is in wonderful condition, except in the exact parts of the borders that have the defects (the paper is very white, and I would guess that this card quite likely originated in the famous "Royal Theater" collection. Certainly, the new owner can decide to perform the slight border restoration that could be done, or one could choose to keep it exactly as it is, because how many great condition "Citizen Kane" cards exist?
