Auction History Result 1f0588 DR. SOCRATES LC 1935 doctor Paul Muni, Barton MacLane & others by table, ultra rare! Date Sold 12/21/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Doctor Socrates, the 1935 William Dieterle medical doctor crime thriller ("With the deadliest weapons known to science he fought a thousand killers!"; about a prominent doctor who is forced to help gangsters, and they try to make him their regular physician, but he injects them with a drug that makes them temporarily blind!) starring Paul Muni (in the title role as "Dr. Socrates"), Ann Dvorak, Barton MacLane, Robert Barrat, John Eldredge, Hobart Cavanaugh, and Helen Lowell. Note that Warner Bros. remade this movie just four years later as "King of the Underworld", with Kay Francis playing a female doctor, and surprisingly, there was very little difference between the two movies, even though the lead was now a female! Also, this pairing of Paul Muni and director William Dieterle would prove incredibly successful, because they would go on to make The Story of Louis Pasteur, Juarez, and The Life of Emile Zola together, some of Muni's most successful films! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper items from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned six lobby cards (most of which were 12 or more years ago) and some stills from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this seventh lobby card! 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: good. There are pinholes in the corners and some smudges and creases around the edges with a few smudges and faint stains in the image. The card displays pretty well, but certainly any talented restorer could greatly improve its appearance, and likely be able to remove the smudges and stains chemically. 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
