An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More)

Confessions of a Nazi Spy, the 1939 Anatole Litvak World War II (WWII) spy espionage crime thriller ("Trapped! by the America they tried to betray... by the government they tried to destroy... by the viciousness of their own traitorous schemes!"; "Sensational drama about Nazi activity in America!"; "You won't dare see this picture if you take orders from Them!"; "These hands....... must be caught"; "Based on materials gathered by Leon G. Turrou, 'Ace G-Man'"; Robinson is a federal agent posing as a Nazi spy to infiltrate a major spy ring) starring Edward G. Robinson, Francis Lederer, Lya Lys, Henry O'Neill, George Sanders, Paul Lukas, Sig Ruman, Dorothy Tree, Lionel Royce, Henry Victor, and Hans Heinrich von Twardowski. Note that one of Warner Bros' executives was murdered by the Nazis in Germany in the 1930s, which caused that studio to be the first to cease distributing their movies in Germany. They also were the first major studio to make this openly anti-Nazi movie, which pulled no punches!

Important Added Info: Note that, as noted far below, there is a separate lobby card set for this movie that contains seven "regular" scene cards with scenes from the movie, in addition to a title card (see below). We have now been consigned an entire set of these, which we are auctioning in eight separate auctions. These "regular" scene cards are quite rare, and we have only previously auctioned three of them in all our years of auctioning, but now we are auctioning all seven of them!

Note that Warner Bros. did something very unusual with the lobby cards for this movie! They created what APPEARS to be TWO completely different lobby card sets (read on to see why I say "appears to be"). On one of the sets, each of the eight cards looks exactly like a "title card", but each has a very different image. However, one of those eight cards is the same as the half-sheet, so we consider that the true "title card", but the other seven "scenes cards" from that set absolutely look just like title cards. In addition, Warner Bros. also created seven "regular" scene cards showing actors from the movie. Those seven scene cards have been found with the title card from the other set described above, so we imagine that title card served as the title card for both sets, meaning there were 15 cards in all, not 16! We don't know of Warner Bros. doing this for any other movie in the 1930s, but of course, this was a very special movie. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Condition: very good. The card has slightly darkened, typical of Warner Bros. linen lobby cards of this period. There is a tiny tear in Lederer's shoulder just below Robinson's finger. There is a tiny tear in the top right blank corner and a few pinholes in each corner. Otherwise, the card is in pretty 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!
