An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More)

Monkey Business, the 1931 Norman Z. McLeod cruise-ship-stowaway seafaring slapstick comedy ("The Four Marx Brothers"; about the four brothers stowing away on a transatlantic cruise ship; concepts from this movie were reused in A Night at the Opera and Room Service) starring the Marx Brothers (Groucho Marx, Harpo Marx, Chico Marx, and Zeppo Marx), Rockliffe Fellowes, Harry Woods, Thelma Todd, Ruth Hall, and Billy Barty

Artist: Constantin Alajalov
Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this window card, and that was 15 years ago, when it sold for $5,200! The only other first release poster we auctioned from this movie was a trolley card, and that auctioned for $1,425. First release posters from this movie are beyond rare! 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 much play date information handwritten in the top of the card, including extra information about their prices. It also mentions Mickey Mouse, and his name is misspelled as "Mickie". It has a tiny tack hole with a circular stain around it above the "N" of "MONKEY" in the background area. It has tiny pinholes in the top blank corners, and a tiny tear from a pin in the center of the top border. It has some very minor border wear. It was once attached to a mat with four pieces of conservation tape on the back of the corners. Other than the above, the card is in really nice condition!
