Auction History Result 2z0198 NIGHT AT THE OPERA WC R1948 great full color Al Hirschfeld art of the Marx Bros, very rare! Date Sold 1/23/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1948 Re-Release Theatrical Folded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 13 3/4" x 16" [35 x 41 cm]) (Learn More) A Night at the Opera, the classic 1935 Sam Wood screwball musical opera romantic comedy starring the Marx Brothers (Groucho Marx as Otis B. Driftwood, Chico Marx as Fiorello, and Harpo Marx as Tomasso), Kitty Carlisle (as Rosa Castaldi), Allan Jones (as Ricardo Baroni), Walter Woolf King (billed as "Walter King"; as Rodolfo Lassparri), Sig Ruman (as Herbert Gottlieb), and Margaret Dumont (as Mrs. Claypool). Note that MGM added a romantic plot to the Marx Bros. typical screwball comedy, and it really adds to the movie, as Carlisle and Jones have real chemistry together, and their songs are excellent. Of course, this is also the movie that has the Marx Bros.' most famous comedy scene, the "stateroom" scene, plus the great scene of Groucho and Chico attempting to sign a contract! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Al Hirschfeld Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this window card, and that was 12 years ago, when it sold for $550! Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 13 3/4" x 16" [35 x 41 cm]. Note that the window card was folded down the center at one time. Because it would not fit in our standard sized package even if it were re-folded, we don't want to re-fold the window card prior to mailing, and we believe that re-folding the window card would lessen its condition (we never roll window cards into a tube). If you specifically request it, we will re-fold this window card, but you will not be able to return it. Condition: good. The card was trimmed, but the small writing at the bottom was not trimmed. It was folded down the middle and there is wide linen tape on the back of the center of the card, and also on the back of the left half of the bottom border. Learn More about condition grades
