An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Wizard of Oz, the classic 1939 Victor Fleming family magical fantasy adventure musical ("MGM's miracle musical show of shows!"; "It's Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Technicolor triumph!"; "Magnificent in its brilliant Technicolor splendor!"; "At Last It's Here Biggest Sensation Since "Snow White"!"; "The mighty miracle show that is the talk of America!"; "Amazing sights to see! The Tornado, Munchkinland, Horse of a Different Color, Startling Balloon Ascent, The Flying Monkeys, The Tree That Throws Apples"; "Gaiety! Glory! Glamour!"; based on the classic book of the same name by L. Frank Baum; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Judy Garland (as Dorothy), Frank Morgan (in the title role as The Wizard of Oz!), Ray Bolger (as The Scarecrow), Bert Lahr (as The Cowardly Lion), Jack Haley (as The Tin Man), Billie Burke (as Glinda, the Good Witch), Margaret Hamilton (as the Wicked Witch), Charley Grapewin, "The Munchkins", and Toto too! Note that MGM was worried about how well this movie would do at the box office, and they did something we don't remember seeing on any other major movie advertising! One of the taglines says "Biggest sensation since Snow White", which means MGM was advertising a Walt Disney movie, but that shows just how worried they were! Of course, they needn't have worried, because this was a timeless classic that has only improved with age. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: UPDATED 05/01/2012: Note that we have added more detail to the Condition Description for this lobby card. Condition: very good. (Note that this card originally had a short condition description, but because it is expensive, we wanted to expand that, and we have done so on 5/1). The card had a pinhole in each top corner and near the center of the bottom blank border. There was a tiny pinhole in the top center of the card in the temple of the Scarecrow's face. There was a tear and tiny paper loss in the top left blank border caused by rough removal of the pin. There were some dot water-stains in the "D" and "O" of "WIZARD" and "OZ" and a few very tiny dot water-stains scattered in the image, but not in the stars faces. A very talented restorer pressed and flattened the card and performed slight restoration to the pinholes and the defects described above, but there is virtually no restoration within the image (the two letters of the title described above have had in-painting, and the top left blank corner has had in-painting. The card has not been backed, and it does not in any way seem restored, and it looks and feels like an excellent condition lobby card, and I would think every collector would be quite happy to display on their wall!
