The Strangest Story You Ever Tried To Get Out Of Your Dreams!"; "Pretty Girl - Black Beast - They're One!"; "Written by DeWitt Bodeen"; produced by Val Lewton) starring Simone Simon, Kent Smith, Tom Conway, Jane Randolph, Jack Holt, and Mary Halsey. Note that when this movie was first announced by RKO Pictures in 1942, it was called "The Cat People" in the first trade ads, but it was released simply as "Cat People".

Important Added Info: Note that while we have previously auctioned twelve first release lobby cards from this movie, we have only auctioned ONE example of this card, and it sold for $625! Also note that any posters or lobby cards from the first release of this classic movie are extremely rare and expensive. Perhaps that was because there was a re-release which was made just ten years after the original, and probably whatever original 1942 paper was still around in 1952 was used up during that re-release, which would help explain why so little original 1942 movie paper still survives! 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: fair to good. The theater that used this card cut out an 8" x 10" portion of the image to use for a "still", but later someone taped that portion back to the rest of the card with brown tape on the reverse. Otherwise, the card has some creases, faint smudges, and a few tiny tears around the edges, as well as brown paper tape on the back of the top and bottom borders. Learn More about condition grades
