An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14 1/4" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Noel Coward's Design for Living, the 1933 Ernst Lubitsch pre-Code romantic love triangle comedy (adapted from the play by Noel Coward, with a script by Ben Hecht; about two men in love with a free-spirited young woman, who also has a very rich suitor, and the movie clearly implies that the three stars are involved in a menage a trois; there was an unspoken homosexual tension between the two male stars in the original play that was naturally left out when it was filmed!) starring Fredric March, Gary Cooper, Miriam Hopkins, Edward Everett Horton, Isabel Jewell, Jane Darwell, and Franklin Pangborn NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that first release 1933 movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only auctioned two other lobby cards from this movie until we received this lobby card (and one other, which we have in a separate auction), and no posters at all! 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. Condition: good. The card had a tiny bit trimmed from the left and top blank borders, and had all of the right and bottom borders trimmed off, which included the text at bottom and 1/4" at the right edge of the image and a slight bit at the bottom of the left and right ends of the bottom of the image. Otherwise, the card only had a few tiny smudges and dot stains scattered in the image, and some discoloration by the Paramount logo, which may have been caused by staining or a minor printing defect. Overall, the card was in good condition prior to restoration. Someone had a talented restorer gel back the card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material) and recreate the missing borders, which included the text at bottom, the tiny paper loss at bottom left and right, and the 1/4" strip of missing image at the far right. They did so really expertly, but the final card measures 11" x 14 1/4", not 11" x 14", likely because they put slightly too much blank borders back on the left and right. The card displays really well and will look wonderful on the new owner's wall! Learn More about condition grades
