Auction History Result w301 BIG SLEEP movie lobby card #5 '46 best Bogart & Bacall closeup! Date Sold 5/15/2007Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card #5 (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) The Big Sleep, the classic 1946 Howard Hawks romantic crime film noir ("The picture they were born for!"; "A Warner hit!!!"; "From the novel by Raymond Chandler"; "Screen Play by William Faulkner, Leigh Brackett & Jules Furthman") starring Humphrey Bogart (as Philip Marlowe), Lauren Bacall, John Ridgely, Martha Vickers, Dorothy Malone, Louis Jean Heydt, Charles Waldron, Charles D. Brown, Bob Steele, Tom Fadden, Ben Welden, and Sonia Darrin. Note that not only did this movie have the direction of Howard Hawks and the great star power of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, but it also had the brilliant Raymond Chandler source novel, and a screenplay written by three great writers: Faulkner, Brackett, and Furthman! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good to fine. The card had a pinhole in the center of the left, top, and bottom blank borders, and four tiny staple holes in the middle of the left border. There were some smudges and creases around the edges of the card. A talented restorer has bleached the card, and has apparently starch backed the card, filling in the pinholes, and touching up the smudges. When you look closely at the card, you can see signs of the restoration, but from any distance away, it looks great, and the card has NOT been backed, so it still looks and feels like a regular lobby card (although the bleaching has left it looking somewhat "whiter than white"). I would think most collectors would be thrilled to display this great card on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
