Auction History Result 1x066 WITHOUT LOVE trade ad '45 Kapralik art of Spencer Tracy & Katharine Hepburn in bunks! Date Sold 6/17/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Trade-Ad (measures 9" x 12 1/4" [23 x 31 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More) Without Love, the 1945 Harold S. Bucquet World War II (WWII) Washington D.C. romantic melodrama ("She was a bashful bride! He walked in his sleep!"; "MGM's Star-Hit!"; "Based on the play by Philip Barry") starring Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Lucille Ball, Keenan Wynn, Carl Esmond, Patricia Morison, Felix Bressart, and Gloria Grahame. Note that MGM tried to pair Lucille Ball and Keenan Wynn as a "new comedy team" in this movie, and they appeared in two more movies the following year, but apparently the chemistry just wasn't there. Lucy must have had fond memories of Keenan Wynn, because he appeared in her big hit movie in 1953, "The Long, Long Trailer". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Jacques Kapralik Important Added Info: Note that from the 1920s on, studios would create elaborate trade ads, often in full color, and often using the finest artists of the day. They would run these ads in their studio yearbooks (and sometimes those books are separated and the ads are sold individually), but they would also print those trade ads separately and mail them individually to theater owners, trying to get them to book that specific movie. The trade ad offered here was NOT removed from a yearbook or magazine, but was printed individually. It comes to us from the daughter of an MGM studio executive, who took home samples of these great ads (which explains why they are in such great condition, because they were never mailed to a theater). Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
