Auction History Result 6f0637 GREAT GATSBY 7 LCs 1949 great images of Alan Ladd, Betty Field & Ruth Hussey! Date Sold 4/9/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 7 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Great Gatsby, the 1949 Elliott Nugent romantic melodrama ("A Great Cast... A Great Novel... A Great Motion Picture"; "Ladd as man of violence and mystery vs. women of wealth and Beauty!"; "From the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald and the play by Owen Davis") starring Alan Ladd (in the title role as Jay Gatsby), Betty Field (as Daisy Buchanan), Macdonald Carey (as Nick Carraway), Ruth Hussey (as Jordan Baker), Barry Sullivan (as Tom Buchanan), Howard Da Silva, Shelley Winters, and Ed Begley. Note that F. Scott Fitzgerald's legendary novel was first adapted as a movie in 1926 (the novel was published in 1925). This 1949 remake was not very faithful to the novel, and was not very successful at the box office, and neither was the 1974 remake starring Robert Redford (to be fair, it would be very difficult for a movie to be faithful to the book and succeed at the box office). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good to very good. Each of the cards has varying amounts of faint smudges and creases around the edges. The one with Ladd at center (pictured at top left in our second image) has extra creases at upper right and some faint stains at lower left. The cards are otherwise in pretty nice condition and they have no tape whatsoever on the front or back, and they never have had any restoration of any kind! Learn More about condition grades
