A Paperbacked Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) The Green Pastures, the 1936 Marc Connelly & William Keighley black African American religious fantasy melodrama (depicting a "black heaven", where only black people went after death, as apparently discrimination in 1936 did not end even at the grave; the movie must be seen to be believed!) starring Rex Ingram (as Adam, De Lawd, and Hezdrel), Oscar Polk (as Gabriel), Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson ( as Noah), Myrtle Anderson (as Eve), Al Stokes (as Cain), and Edna Mae Harris (as Zeba) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this window card! We imagine that Warner Bros. was trying to market this movie to mainstream audiences, and it appears that the way they came up with to do so was to completely ignore the black African American aspect of it, and for that matter, to not really explain anything on their window card! We wonder how this marketing strategy worked! Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a heavy paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. Prior to paperbacking, the window card's blank top had been mostly trimmed off, and there were some faint stains and smudges scattered throughout the card. Overall, the window card was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The window card was pretty well backed, but the restorer did not want to repaint the yellow background areas, where most of the stains and smudges were, so you can see slight signs of that smudging and staining, but the card will display well on the new owner's wall (see our image).
