An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Color-Glos Still (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Gone with the Wind, the classic 1939 Victor Fleming (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) Civil War era romantic melodrama epic ("The Greatest Motion Picture Ever Made!"; "In the New Screen splendor... The most magnificent picture ever!"; "David O. Selznick's production of Margaret Mitchell's story of the Old South"; "Screen play by Sidney Howard"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Clark Gable (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; "as Rhett Butler"), Vivien Leigh (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; "and presenting Vivien Leigh as O'Hara"), Leslie Howard ("as Ashley Wilkes"), Olivia de Havilland (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film; "as Melanie"), Hattie McDaniel ("as Mammy"), Thomas Mitchell ("as Gerald O'Hara"), Butterfly McQueen (as Prissy), Ann Rutherford ("as Carreen O'Hara"), George Reeves (in his first credited movie role!), Victor Jory, Jane Darwell, Ward Bond, Ona Munson ("as Belle Watling"), Yakima Canutt, Harry Davenport ("as Dr. Meade"), Carroll Nye ("as Frank Kennedy"), Laura Hope Crews ("as Aunt Pittypat"), Alicia Rhett ("as India Wilkes"), Barbara O'Neil ("as Ellen O'Hara"), Marcella Martin (as Cathleen Calvert), Frank Coghlan Jr., Fred Crank, Rand Brooks, Cammie King Conlan, Patrick Curtis, and William Bakewell NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is NOT the regular lobby card set from 1939, but it IS from 1939, and represents an amazing find. Apparently, sometime in the late 1930s, some of the studios experimented with an alternate kind of lobby card, which was called "color-glos" (and glos IS spelled with one "s"!). These were deluxe colored stills printed by a different method than regular stills (the colors are more vivid, kind of like the colors in a Technicolor movie). These color-glos stills are extremely rare! I once auctioned the complete set of 8 from "Snow White", and I have seen five 8x10 sized color-glos stills from "The Wizard of Oz". These are the only color-glos stills I have ever seen! Given that all three are from very important movies, it is quite possible that they were only made for the most major releases. It certainly appears the process was abandoned soon after "Gone With The Wind" was made, for if not, it would seem likely that there would be other of these stills surviving, for they would've likely been distributed by National Screen Service. I know that many people specialize in collecting "Gone With The Wind" movie paper, and I don't believe any of them have ever seen one of these color-glos stills before. Also, note that while the "title card" looks similar to the title card from the 1939 lobby card set, there are clear differences between the two, and note that all of the seven "scene cards" are completely artwork, and that art does not appear to have been used on other original "Gone With The Wind" movie paper, with the exception of the great scene of Gable holding Leigh, which was used on one of the two 1939 half-sheets! NOTE: In this case, the #2 in the title of the sale is not the number of the lobby card. Because we are selling more than one lobby card from this movie this week as separate eBay sales, we needed to differentiate the different sales, and we did so by marking them "#1, #2, #3, etc..". Condition: very good to fine. The center of the bottom border is "rippled", likely from light water staining, but it is really much more "felt" than seen, and it can be corrected by a professional or a talented amateur, by wetting the still and having it dry completely flat under weight. There are a few minor border defects, and a very few faint scuffs in the image area, but they can only be seen when it is tilted to the light. Overall, this great still is in very nice condition!
