Date Sold 12/11/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Photolobby (11x14; LCs; measures 11" x 13 3/4" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Foreign Correspondent, the 1940 Alfred Hitchcock ("Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, the man who gave you 'Rebecca'") World War II (WWII) spy espionage newspaper journalism romantic suspense thriller ("The thrill spectacle of the year!"; "The dramatic conflicts... of today's boldest adventurers!"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about an American newspaper reporter stationed in London on the eve of World War II, and he tries to expose Nazi spies) starring Joel McCrea, Laraine Day, Herbert Marshall, George Sanders, Albert Bassermann (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; billed as "Albert Basserman"), Robert Benchley, Edmund Gwenn, Charles Wagenheim, and Eduardo Ciannelli. Note that this movie dealt with World War II and spies, and it was a clear statement from director Hitchcock that the war would soon involve every country, especially the United States, because there was no way to remain "neutral" when all those around you are at war. Finally, note that the movie credits the screenwriting to Charles Bennett and Joan Harrison, and notes that additional dialog was written by Robert Benchley and James Hilton (celebrated author of Lost Horizon and Goodbye, Mr. Chips), and Ben Hecht and Richard Maibaum apparently also contributed dialog, although they were uncredited!

It does not appear to be a re-release, especially because it has United Artists on it, and they did not do re-releases at this time. Our best guess is that it is a "photolobby", because it has a black & white photo image, but it is on regular heavier lobby card stock, and not thinner photo-type paper that most photolobbies are on. What are photolobbies? In the 1930s and 1940s, some studios sometimes issued a set of very different looking lobby cards! They were issued in addition to the regular lobby card set, and had photographic scenes from the movies, sometimes color, sometimes hand-colored, and sometimes black & white. Condition: very good. A small amount of the right blank border was trimmed off and there are pinholes in the corners and three tiny tears in the top blank border. Otherwise, the photolobby is in pretty nice condition. Note that this photolobby is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
