A Complete Set of 10 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Photolobbies (measure 11" x 14") and Envelope (Learn More) Singin' in the Rain, the classic 1952 Stanley Donen & Gene Kelly romantic musical comedy (considered by most the best musical of all time!; "What a glorious feeling"; "MGM's Technicolor Musical Treasure!"; "Suggested by the song 'Singin' In the Rain'"; about a Hollywood movie studio in the late 1920s that wants to begin making sound pictures, but their top leading lady has a dreadful voice, plus they have great difficulties adapting to the sound equipment; pretty young Debbie Reynolds comes along to dub in the singing voice of the primadonna leading lady, played to perfection by Jean Hagen) starring Gene Kelly (as Don Lockwood), Donald O'Connor (as Cosmo Brown), Debbie Reynolds (as Kathy Selden), Jean Hagen (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film; as Lina Lamont), Millard Mitchell (as R.F. Simpson), and Cyd Charisse (unnamed, only referred to as "Dancer"). Note that this greatest of all Hollywood musicals had an odd beginning! The title song had been sung in "The Hollywood Revue of 1929" by Cliff Edwards, and that inspired this movie, and in addition, the song "Make 'Em Laugh" was basically plagiarized from "Be a Clown", from "The Pirate"!

Important Added Info: Please note that on this classic movie, and on several other classic movies of the 1950s, MGM issued two entirely different sets of lobby cards! One set was the kind that is regularly seen. The other kind was a "photolobby" set with glossier color scenes from the movie, most often entirely different from the other set, and sometimes including one or two vertical images (something virtually never seen on lobby cards). This set of photolobbies includes the original envelope that they came in (I have NEVER seen an original envelope for these photolobbies before, and of course, this envelope confirms that there were exactly 10 scenes in this set). Note that the envelope is torn on one side (where the lobbies were removed from), and is stained on the other side, but the envelope did its job, which was to protect the lobby cards it contained! Some of the cards have pinholes and/or smudges in the borders and the title card has surface paper loss in the top right corner (in the yellow background, and in the dot above the "i" in "Rain"), but otherwise the cards are in pretty nice condition! I don't know that there is another complete set of these cards in one place! Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
