An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Leavenworth Case, the 1936 Lewis D. Collins detective murder mystery crime thriller ("Most famous of American detective novels"; "The mystery that led the procession of all modern mystery stories"; "Based on Anna Katherine Green's famous novel", written in 1878!; about an rich old man who is found dead, and it is ruled a suicide, but a sharp detective discovers that he was actually murdered, and since many people wanted him dead, there are lots of suspects, and the old man had a pet monkey which figures prominently in the plot) starring Donald Cook, Jean Rouverol, Norman Foster, Erin O'Brien-Moore, Warren Hymer, and Maude Eburne. Note that the original U.S. version has the killer be a member of the man's own family, and British censors refused to show the movie because of this, so Republic took the unusual step of re-filming the ending, making an entirely different cast member the killer, and that version was shown outside the U.S., while the original version was shown within the U.S.! Both versions still exist, and I can't think of any other time that this was done! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: fair to good. There are several pinholes in the left of the image, most falling in Cook's face and figure. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
