A 1937 Re-Release Theatrical Linenbacked Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 18" [36 x 46 cm]) (Learn More) The Lives of a Bengal Lancer, the 1935 Henry Hathaway (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) British-in-India military war melodrama (nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; "A Man's Story... That Women Love!"; based on the novel 'The Lives of a Bengal Lancer' by F. Yeats Brown; about the British in India fighting against impossible odds and demonstrating great bravery; Gary Cooper is a Canadian Scotsman, and most of the movie focuses on the younger soldiers and their older mentors; there is a romantic subplot involving Kathleen Burke, but it is very brief and not memorable, but that is more the fault of the screenwriters than poor Miss Burke) starring Gary Cooper, Franchot Tone, Richard Cromwell, Sir Guy Standing, C. Aubrey Smith, Monte Blue, and Kathleen Burke (who had been the Panther Woman in "Island of Lost Souls" two years earlier!) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this movie first came out in 1935. We have seen a window card from the first release, and it has a 1934 copyright at bottom left (it is not unusual to be copyrighted the year before). But this window card, which is very similar, has a 1937 copyright, and it was printed that way! Therefore, we think this famous movie was re-released just two years after its first release. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 18" [36 x 46 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The window card was originally on a heavy paper stock, and the restorer took off the top layer and discarded the back portion (this is often done with linenbacking thick window cards). The window card originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off. It had creases and tears around the edges, with paper loss in the middle of the right border extending into the image. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
