Auction History Result 7a242 DANCING IN THE DARK TC '49 William Powell, Betsy Drake, Mark Stevens, nothing more exciting! Date Sold 5/3/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Dancing in the Dark, the 1949 Irving Reis musical romantic comedy ("There's nothing more exciting than... 'Dancing in the Dark'"; "Based on the Play 'The Bandwagon' by George S. Kaufman, Howard Dietz, & Arthur Schwartz"; "Lyrics and Music by Howard Dietz, & Arthur Schwartz"; "Produced by George Jessel") starring William Powell, Mark Stevens, Betsy Drake, Adolphe Menjou, Randy Stuart, Lloyd Corrigan, Hope Emerson, Walter Catlett, Don Beddoe, and Jean Hersholt ("as himself"). Note that just four years later, MGM remade this movie as "The Band Wagon", starring Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse, Nanette Fabray, and Oscar Levant. It wasn't really an exact remake, and they intended to call it "I Love Louisa". But at the last minute, they decided they really wanted to call it "The Band Wagon", which was the name of the original play this was based on, and even though this movie was not called that, 20th Century-Fox owned the rights to that title, and they charged MGM $10,000 to use it!

Mr. Sanders was a nationally recognized projectionist, film poster collector, and union activist who passed away earlier this year, and the net proceeds from the sale of his varied and eclectic collection will be donated to promote film studies at the Besant School of Happy Valley in Ojai, Ca. Condition: fair to good. The card had paper loss in the bottom left and some small paper loss in the credits next to it. Someone taped white paper to the back of those areas and then performed amateur restoration. There are also pinholes and smudges around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
