An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (measures 10 3/4" x 13 3/4") (Learn More) The Philadelphia Story, the classic 1940 George Cukor (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) Pennsylvania romantic love triangle wedding comedy ("Howl with your happiest Hollywood stars!"; "Broadway's howling year-run comedy hit of the snooty society beauty who slipped and fell - in love!"; "Based on the play by Philip Barry"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a divorced socialite who is planning to remarry and have no press coverage, but her ex-husband is jealous, and he arranges through blackmail to have a reporter and a photographer attend, and many complications ensue) starring Cary Grant ("...he's a smoothie!"), Katharine Hepburn (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; "...she's a wild red-head!"), James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart; winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; "...he's a devil in the moonlight!"), Ruth Hussey (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), John Howard, Roland Young, John Halliday, Mary Nash, and Virginia Weidler. Note that James Stewart won the Best Actor Academy Award for this film and many feel it was to repay him for not winning the year before for Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, but that is especially ironic, because he was given the Oscar over Henry Fonda in The Grapes of Wrath, who surely deserved it! Also note that this movie was remade in 1955 as the musical High Society, with Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, and Frank Sinatra in the lead roles. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this title card has been very slightly trimmed and it now measures 10 3/4" x 13 3/4". Condition: very good. The card was extremely slightly trimmed on the blank borders, as it now measures 10 3/4" x 13 3/4". There is a total of 1/4" missing from the horizontal and vertical borders, but it was so neatly done, that I can't tell if it was done from two, three, or four of the borders! In any event, it was an extremely small amount of solely blank paper. There is a faint water stain in the bottom right corner, just entering the edge of the image background. There are two pinholes in the top left corner, one in the upper right blank border, and one near the middle of the bottom blank border. There are a few tiny dot stains in the top left red background area, and a tiny brown stain in the center of the top blank border. There are a few faint smudges in the red background areas. Other than the above minor defects, the card is in really nice condition, and it has had no restoration or tape of any kind on either front or back! Learn More about condition grades
