Auction History Result 3a078 GIRL WITHOUT A ROOM WC '33 incredible art of sexy Marguerite Churchill on painter's pallette! Date Sold 12/11/2008 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Girl Without a Room, the 1933 Ralph Murphy Paris France artist painter romantic musical comedy ("She had no bed of her own!") starring Charles Farrell, Charlie Ruggles, Marguerite Churchill, Gregory Ratoff, Grace Bradley, Walter Woolf King (billed as "Walter Woolf"), and Mischa Auer. This seems to be an extremely odd movie! It is a musical, and yet, there are next-to-no songs in it. Pretty Marguerite Churchill appears early on in the movie as the title character, and yet she pretty much disappears early on. The main plot concerns a struggling artist who goes to Paris, but no one there likes his paintings, and so he begins painting "modern art", and one of his paintings is hailed a masterpiece, only they have hung it upside-down! Still, the one-sheet poster for this movie is one of the all-time great movie posters, and this window card (which I have never seen before) is also a masterpiece, with great art of sexy Churchill half-dressed and sitting on painter Charles Farrell's artist's palette! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Condition: good. The poster was never folded. The left 2" of the card was trimmed off. There were smudges and stains throughout the image. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was well backed, and the restorer did an excellent job re-creating the missing part of the titles and the image. From close up, you can see signs of the faint smudging and the restoration, but from any reasonable viewing distance, the poster displays nicely! Learn More about condition grades
