An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Looking Forward, the 1933 Clarence Brown Depression era family relationship failing business melodrama ("From the play 'Service' by C.L. Anthony"; a story that is very timely to today's economic difficulties; about the owner of a large department store whose business is failing in the Great Depression, and he plans to sell the store to a sleazy rival who will likely close it down, and the two main subplots of the movie concern how the owner's family deals with the news of their failing finances, and there is an employee who has worked at the store for 40 years, and losing his job will devastate his family) starring Lionel Barrymore, Lewis Stone, Benita Hume, Elizabeth Allan, Phillips Holmes, and Alan Edwards. Note that Phillips Holmes had made an impression in some movies in the late 1920s. In 1931, he would get the lead in the first version of "An American Tragedy", which made it seem like he would become a major star, but that didn't materialize. He had a major affair with Libby Holman, but that was certainly complicated, and when they broke up, she immediately married his brother! Oddly, years later, Holman would have another very complicated affair with Montgomery Clift, who played the same part in the remake of "An American Tragedy", retitled "A Place in the Sun". Sadly, Holmes died in a plane crash in 1942. I am very surprised no one has made a movie about his life, or a joint movie about him and Libby Holman! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
