An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Love Me Tonight, the classic 1932 Rouben Mamoulian mistaken identity European royalty romantic musical comedy (one of the very best romantic musicals ever made, about a tailor who is stiffed by a wealthy client, and he follows the client to his house, and falls in love with the man's beautiful relative, who is unfortunately a princess, so he is passed off as royalty himself, but can she love a simple tailor?) starring Maurice Chevalier, Jeanette MacDonald, Charles Ruggles (billed as "Charlie Ruggles"), Charles Butterworth, Myrna Loy, C. Aubrey Smith, Elizabeth Patterson, Blanche Friderici, and Ethel Griffies (Patterson, Friderici, and Griffies are three elderly ladies who are kind of like a Greek chorus, explaining aspects of the plot to the audience!). Note that original 1932 U.S. movie paper of any kind is unbelievably scarce! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this scene shows Maurice Chevalier with the three older ladies who are like a "Greek chorus" in this classic movie and add much to it! Note that ANY movie paper items from this much loved and admired movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a mini window card and some stills from this movie (and NO other movie paper) until we received this lobby card, the very first lobby card we have auctioned (and we were consigned another card as well, which we are auctioning in a separate auction). Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: very good. The card had a few pinholes, smudges, and faint stains around the edges, with a very few tiny stains scattered in the image. Overall, the card was in good to very good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material) and they then performed excellent restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, so that the card still exactly looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. You can see slight signs of the restoration, but the card displays really well! Learn More about condition grades
