An Original Vintage Theatrical Mini Movie Window Card (WC; measures 8" x 12" [20 x 30 cm]) (Learn More) The King Steps Out, the 1936 Josef von Sternberg romantic musical ("Grandest of all musical love dramas!"; "Again... That golden voice rings out!..."; "She stole a king on his wedding day!"; "Again her golden voice holds the world breathless in its spell!") starring Grace Moore, Franchot Tone, Walter Connolly, Raymond Walburn, and Elisabeth Risdon. Note that Grace Moore was a major New York opera star starting in 1928 (she was called "The Tennessee Nightingale") who was hired by MGM in 1930 to star in a biography of Jenny Lind called "A Lady's Morals", and there was a French language version as well, where she played the lead, but all the other cast were French people. But neither version was a big hit, and she made one other movie for MGM, and then she returned to the opera. But in 1934, Columbia hired her to make another movie, "One Night of Love", and this was much better received, and she appeared in five more Columbia movies, including this one, directed by Josef von Sternberg, who had moved to Columbia after making his very successful Marlene Dietrich movies for Paramount. Grace Moore was killed in a plane crash in 1947, and a biography of her life was made in 1953, "So This is Love", with Kathryn Grayson playing Grace Moore!

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 8" x 12" [20 x 30 cm]. Condition: good. The top area was trimmed off, slightly affecting the red border. The card has darkened somewhat, typical of Columbia mini window cards of this period. Learn More about condition grades
