Auction History Result 3a093 QUEEN CHRISTINA style A WC '33 great completely different c/u art of glamorous Greta Garbo! Date Sold 12/11/2008 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Style A Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Queen Christina, the 1933 Rouben Mamoulian Sweden royalty doomed romance romantic melodrama ("The Secret Loves of Queen Christina"; about a Swedish Queen who falls in love with a Spaniard, but is forced to marry her cousin) starring Greta Garbo (in the title role as Queen Christina; "Garbo returns"; "Triumphant return to the screen"), John Gilbert, Ian Keith, Lewis Stone, Elizabeth Young, C. Aubrey Smith, and Reginald Owen. Note that this John Gilbert sound movie, like all his sound movies, completely dispels the myth that he had a high-pitched speaking voice, which ended his career! Actually, he had a fine speaking voice, and there is much speculation as to what it was that actually ended his career, and that can be found in various places on the Internet, but it was definitely not his voice! Also, note that after making four movies in 1931, Garbo took an 18 month break before making this her next movie, and so it was advertised as her "triumphant return to the screen".

This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat 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. Condition: very good. Part of the blank top was trimmed off (approximately 4"). There was a slightly diagonal 5" tear in the top right (solely in the blue background), but otherwise, the image area was in generally nice condition. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and the restorer replaced the missing part of the top blank area, and the poster looks fantastic!
