An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More)

The Cat and the Canary, the 1939 Elliott Nugent romantic horror mystery comedy ("The picture that will give your goose pimples goose pimples!"; "Chills, horrors and lots of fun!"; "Based on the Stage Play by John Willard") starring Bob Hope, Paulette Goddard, John Beal, Douglass Montgomery, Gale Sondergaard, Elizabeth Patterson, George Zucco, William Abbey (as "The Cat", a homicidal maniac!), and Nydia Westman. Note that this was a remake of the 1927 movie of the same name directed by Paul Leni, except that it has had comedy injected, to make a suitable movie for Bob Hope!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded.

Condition: very good. The card was lightly folded down the middle at one time, but the crease is pretty faint and not very noticeable. There is faint water staining scattered in the top of the card, scattered throughout the blank top area. There are similar faint brown stains in the other three blank borders, but fortunately there is almost no staining in the image, title, or credits area. There are some horizontal creases in the bottom left corner of the image. The card's defects are not very noticeable or distracting (and the ones in the borders will not show when the card is framed), but of course, if the new owner wished, a restorer could likely remove most or all of the faint water staining from the borders and top blank area.
