Auction History Result 7s223 HENRY V LC #7 1947 Laurence Olivier in full armor in William Shakespeare's classic play! Date Sold 12/9/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1947 (from the first release of this movie in the U.S.) Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card #7 (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Chronicle History of King Henry the Fifth with His Battell Fought at Agincourt in France (released in the U.S. in 1947 as "William Shakespeare's Henry V"), the classic 1944 Laurence Olivier English adaptation-of-the-classic-play-by-William-Shakespeare (nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Leslie Banks, Felix Aylmer, Laurence Olivier (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; in the title role as King Henry V of England), Robert Helpmann, Vernon Greeves, Gerald Case, George Robey (as Sir John Falstaff), Freda Jackson, and Renee Asherson. Note that the IMDb says that this movie was released in the U.S. in 1946, but we know that there are lobby cards and stills that are dated both 1944 and 1945, so there was at least an intended release late in 1944 or in early 1945. We wonder if perhaps it first played in very limited release in late 1944 in the U.S. and that there was at least a further limited release in 1947. We know that it received a full scale re-release from United Artists in 1950, but that could have been its first major U.S. release. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card is from a special collection of 41 scene lobby cards, all of which are from Laurence Olivier movies (and each is in its own auction)! The collector who assembled this collection spent DECADES searching out scene cards from as many of Laurence Olivier's movies as he could find, and he always tried to find the best scene in the best condition, and he mostly found first release cards. 40 of the 41 cards show Olivier (most of them an excellent image of him). The one exception is the card from THE YELLOW TICKET, which does not show Olivier (it is extremely early in his career, and it is not clear how many cards, if any, he is shown on). This is a rare opportunity to acquire one or more scene cards of Laurence Olivier, who many have called the finest actor of all time! Condition: very good to fine. Note that this lobby card is in excellent condition and is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of the card! Learn More about condition grades
