Date Sold 4/14/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 13 3/4" x 17 3/4") (Learn More) Rasputin and the Empress, the 1932 Richard Boleslawski historical Russia royal family melodrama ("The 3 Barrymores"; "Greatest trio on the screen!"; "Their first screen appearance together!"; "Screen Play by Charles MacArthur"; about the decline and fall of the ruling Russian family, and the strange "mad monk" Grigori Rasputin, who gained huge control over the royal family, and hastened their decline) starring John Barrymore (as Prince Paul Chegodieff), Ethel Barrymore (in the title role as Czarina Alexandra), Lionel Barrymore (in the title role as Grigori Rasputin), Ralph Morgan, Diana Wynyard, Tad Alexander, C. Henry Gordon, and Jean Parker (uncredited, as Princess Maria; in her second movie role!). This movie is best remembered because it was the three legendary Barrymores' only screen appearance together, and MGM heavily promoted that aspect of the movie!

Important Added Info: Note that this window card has been trimmed and it now measures 13 3/4" x 17 3/4". 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 to fine. The window card originally had a blank top that was neatly half trimmed off (this was commonly done with window cards, when the top had been left blank, or when someone had hand-scrawled play date information in that area). Most collectors do not consider it to be a significant defect at all, since only blank white paper is lost, and the window card becomes easier to frame. Note that it looks like the left, right, and bottom borders might have been trimmed, but actually, they were printed with a "full bleed", something MGM was doing at the time, which means there were no white borders when the card was printed (although half of the top blank area has been neatly trimmed off). Other than that trimming, there are water stains in the top left corner, which slightly extend into the purple background area and some tiny scuffs around the edges of the card, but otherwise, the card is in pretty nice condition!
