Auction History Result 4s171 INSPIRATION WC '31 art of sexy French streetwalker Greta Garbo hugging Robert Montgomery! Date Sold 4/14/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Inspiration (released in some countries as "Yvonne"), the 1931 Clarence Brown Paris model romantic prostitution melodrama ("A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer All Talking Picture"; based on the novel 'Sapho' by Alphonse Daudet; about a French streetwalker who finds true love with a handsome young man, but she leaves him because of her past, and then she returns to him, but he learns about her past and leaves her, and that makes him afraid she will kill herself, and he returns to her, but then she leaves him again!) starring Greta Garbo, Robert Montgomery, Lewis Stone, Marjorie Rambeau, and Judith Vosselli. Note that there was a French language version of this movie filmed simultaneously, but with a different cast (with Mary Marquet in the lead role), but that movie was made during the time MGM and Pathe had a co-production deal, and it fell apart at exactly this time, and Pathe sued MGM over this film and won, so it was not released until 1934, three years after it was made.

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 to very good. There is water staining down the left 1" to 2" of the card and some scattered water staining in the right edge of the card. There is a water stain in Montgomery's hand and a little bit in the back of Garbo's hair, but otherwise, there is no water staining in the stars' images. There are scuffs in the solid black areas, more so in the bottom and the left. The card displays pretty well just as it is, but certainly, a talented restorer could remove some or all of the water staining through chemical means, and after proper paperbacking and restoration, the card will look great!
