Auction History Result 6w363 DEVIL DOLL TC 1936 Tod Browning, Maureen O'Sullivan, greater than The Unholy Three, rare! Date Sold 6/13/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Devil Doll (released in England as "The Witch of Timbuktu"), the 1936 Tod Browning France fantasy science fiction (sci-fi) revenge horror thriller ("Greater than 'The Unholy Three'!"; about a once respected banker who spent 17 years in jail, and when he escapes, disguised as an old woman, he meets his old friend, who is a mad scientist who has found a way to shrink people to just a few inches tall, and he steals the method, and uses the tiny people, who he can telepathically control, to get revenge on those he feels wronged him!) starring Lionel Barrymore, Maureen O'Sullivan, Frank Lawton, Rafaela Ottiano, and Robert Greig. Note that after the failure of "Freaks" for MGM in 1932, Tod Browning's career, once so promising, was on the downswing. He directed "Fast Workers" the following year, and then was given another horror movie, "Mark of the Vampire" in 1935. That, too, was not a big success, and he followed that with this movie, which most viewers highly praise, although certainly it has the most implausible plot imaginable! He directed one more movie three years later, "Miracles For Sale", and that was the end of a wonderful career! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this title card, and that example sold for $1,022! Also note that, oddly, the IMDb says that director Tod Browning was uncredited on this movie, but obviously, this title card, with his prominent credit, proves that to not be correct. Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: very good. There is a pair of staple holes in the center of the left, right, and bottom edges of the image, with some slight darkening, tiny areas of surface paper loss, and a few faint smudges down the left of the card (mostly only affecting the blank white border or the solid purple background; see our images). There is a pinhole in the left of the bottom edge of the image, in the bottom of the hand. Otherwise, the card is in nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
