An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (SpanUS; LC TC; printed in Spanish in the U.S. for Spanish speaking audiences; 11" x 14") (Learn More) Living in a Big Way, the 1947 Gregory La Cava World War II (WWII) romantic musical comedy melodrama ("Loving Laughing Living In A Big Way"; "Original Story by Gregory LaCava"; about a G.I. who impulsively marries a beautiful woman just before shipping out, and when he returns, she wants a quick divorce, but he has other ideas) starring Gene Kelly, Marie McDonald (billed on some U.S. posters as "Marie 'The Body' McDonald"), Charles Winninger, Phyllis Thaxter, and Spring Byington. Note that this rather odd movie was written and directed by Gregory La Cava, who started directing movies in 1916, and had directed 173 of them (including "My Man Godfrey" in 1936) before directing this one, and its failure at the box office was the end of his long illustrious career.

Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card was printed in the United States for use at theaters with Spanish speaking audiences (this was done most by MGM, starting in the 1930s, but it was done by the other major studios as well, and often the posters would have the exact same image as the English language poster, except the writing would be in Spanish, and often there would be an added "Toda en Espanol!", meaning "Entirely in Spanish!", printed within the image). Condition: good. There is a horizontal crease across the top 2" of the card and a vertical crease down the right 1" of the card. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of the card! Learn More about condition grades
