Auction History Result 3x111 QUEEN CHRISTINA WC '33 great headshot artwork of pretty glamorous Greta Garbo! Date Sold 9/18/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Style A Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Queen Christina, the 1933 Rouben Mamoulian Sweden royalty doomed romance romantic melodrama ("The Secret Loves of Queen Christina"; about a Swedish Queen who falls in love with a Spaniard, but is forced to marry her cousin) starring Greta Garbo (in the title role as Queen Christina; "Garbo returns"; "Triumphant return to the screen"), John Gilbert, Ian Keith, Lewis Stone, Elizabeth Young, C. Aubrey Smith, and Reginald Owen. Note that this John Gilbert sound movie, like all his sound movies, completely dispels the myth that he had a high-pitched speaking voice, which ended his career! Actually, he had a fine speaking voice, and there is much speculation as to what it was that actually ended his career, and that can be found in various places on the Internet, but it was definitely not his voice! Also, note that after making four movies in 1931, Garbo took an 18 month break before making this her next movie, and so it was advertised as her "triumphant return to the screen".

The blank top of the card was partially trimmed off, but it did not affect the image or the top of Garbo's head. There were creases and tears scattered down the left 1" of the card with a long slightly diagonal tear running down the bottom left, going through the left and of the top and bottom of the "G" of "Garbo". There was an uneven 4" tear near the bottom center of the card, going through the first "i" of "Christina" and going diagonally into both "e"s of "Queen". There were smaller creases and tears in the right border and some dot water stains scattered in the image. Overall, the card was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The card was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
