An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) The Night of Love, the 1927 George Fitzmaurice silent romantic love triangle action adventure melodrama ("Most glorious of all screen romances"; "From an Original Story by Lenore Coffee"; about a gypsy prince who is getting married, and on his wedding night, a Duke abducts his bride to rape her, but she kills herself instead; the gypsy swears vengeance on the Duke, and when the Duke is married, he kidnaps the new Duchess intending to rape her, but he can't bring himself to do it, and the two fall in love) starring Ronald Colman, Vilma Banky, Montagu Love, Natalie Kingston, John George, and Sally Rand (as a gypsy dancer!). Note that Sally Rand is well known even today as a stripper who did an incredibly risque (for the times) "fan dance" in the 1930s. But few know that she appeared in a number of movies in the 1920s, and movie paper from those movies is incredibly rare. 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 window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good. The card has many stains and smudges around the edges, and some scattered in the image. There is paper loss in the bottom left blank corner and tiny paper loss in the top blank border. Other than the above, the card is in pretty good condition! A talented restorer could restore the above defects and after proper restoration, the card would look fantastic (and it is quite possible that some or all of the staining can be removed through chemical means, and if so, this card can be restored without a lot of paint restoration).
