Date Sold 11/22/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) I Take This Woman, the 1940 W.S. Van Dyke (billed as "W.S. Van Dyke II") romantic marriage melodrama ("Man of the hour! Woman of flame!"; "Original story by Charles MacArthur"; about a doctor who helps poor people, who marries a beautiful woman who wants him to be rich, so he abandons the poor and starts treating rich people) starring Spencer Tracy, Hedy Lamarr, Verree Teasdale, Kent Taylor, Laraine Day, Marjorie Main, Willie Best, Louis Calhern, and Dalies Frantz. Note that this was a very troubled production. Josef von Sternberg was the original director and quit, and was replaced by Frank Borzage, but then the entire movie was shelved for 10 months. At that point, W.S. Van Dyke was hired, and he pretty much re-shot the entire movie, even though a lot of it had already been shot, and he also re-cast several of the lead roles (for example, Jack Carson is credited, but he only has one line that remained in the movie, and that one was dubbed, because he was not available to re-take it when the movie was being edited)!

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this window card, and one of those has been reconsigned to us, so this is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned! Note that the card measures very slightly under 14" x 22" (an extremely tiny amount in each direction!) and has no left, right, or bottom blank borders, but it has NOT been trimmed (this was done at a time when MGM was experimenting with having as few borders as possible). Condition: very good. The card has staining in the bottom of the right border. It was in a frame and it has some scuffs and "bumps" around the edges. There is paper tape on the back of the right of the card, but it was not put there for a restoration purpose. There are a few scuffs scattered in the card, which has slightly darkened. Otherwise, the card is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
