Auction History Result 7y0334 ZIEGFELD GIRL WC 1941 great art of sexy showgirl in skimpy outfit, ultra rare! Date Sold 3/16/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 11" x 16" [28 x 41 cm]) (Learn More) Ziegfeld Girl, the 1941 Robert Z. Leonard & Busby Berkeley breaking-into-show-business New York City Broadway theater stage romantic gambling musical ("Greatest musical extravaganza of all time!"; about three beautiful young women who get jobs working as showgirls for the famous Flo Ziegfeld, and the movie tracks their private lives, which are very different and very complicated) starring James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart), Judy Garland, Hedy Lamarr, Lana Turner, Edward Everett Horton, Tony Martin, Jackie Cooper, Ian Hunter, Charles Winninger, Philip Dorn, Al Shean, Eve Arden, and Leslie Brooks (uncredited in her first movie as one of the Ziegfeld Girls!). Note that MGM was famous for having "more stars than there were in Heaven", and because they were under contract by the week rather than by the movie, they could put them into multiple movies each year. How rare is it for a single Hollywood movie to have three female stars who became superstars (in this case, Judy Garland, Hedy Lamarr, and Lana Turner), and of course, Jimmy Stewart also became a superstar!

Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 11" x 16" [28 x 41 cm]. Condition: fair. The card was found in the back of a frame where it had been used as a backing board for a picture (many framers in the 1920s and 1930s would use window cards for this purpose, and they would trim them to the size of the frame, not caring that they were cutting into the image!). In this case, the trimming, which was to 12" x 16", affects the right and bottom of the card, and you can see what is missing by looking at our image. Since most of the title, image, and credits remain, I would think many people could display this card as is, but please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
