An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) The Great Ziegfeld, the 1936 Robert Z. Leonard (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) biographical romantic love triangle musical biography ("The greatest entertainment of our time!"; "300 girls"; "50 stars"; "10 shows in one"; "The sensation of the century!"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award; a highly fictionalized biography of the legendary showman, Flo Ziegfeld) starring William Powell (in the title role as Florenz Ziegfeld), Myrna Loy (as Billie Burke), Luise Rainer (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; as Anna Held), Frank Morgan, Fanny Brice (in a cameo as herself!), Virginia Bruce, Reginald Owen, Ray Bolger (in a cameo as himself!), Ernest Cossart, Nat Pendleton, Harriet Hoctor, Joseph Cawthorn (billed as "Joseph Cawthorne"), Joan Holland, Raymond Walburn, and Esther Muir. Note that this movie gave Luise Rainer her second consecutive Best Actress Oscar. But soon after, she turned her back on Hollywood and moved to Europe. Perhaps that partly explains why she had such a long life (she passed away in 2014 at age 104)! 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 we have only previously auctioned two examples of this window card, but only one in the last 19 years! Also 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: very good. The card has paper loss in the top left blank corner and some stains and smudges in the top blank area, caused by the glue from the snipe. It has penciled play dates written under the snipes at top. It has faint smudges in Loy's cheek extending into her neck, and a few faint smudges in some of the letters. Other than the above, the card is in really nice condition and has really bright colors. It can be displayed as it is, or one could choose to perform minor restoration to the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
