An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More)

Calling Philo Vance, the 1940 William Clemens detective mystery crime thriller ("From 'The Kennel Murder Case' by S.S. Van Dine") starring James Stephenson (in the title role as Philo Vance), Margot Stevenson, Henry O'Neill, Edward Brophy, Sheila Bromley, Ralph Forbes, and Bo Ling. Note that William Powell first played Philo Vance in 1929's "The Canary Murder Case" and after the character proved very popular, he followed it the next year with "The Greene Murder Case", after which Basil Rathbone took over the role that same year in "The Bishop Murder Case". After Powell played Vance again in "The Benson Murder Case" (which was also made in a Spanish language version with an entirely different case), he then played him one more time in "The Kennel Murder Case" in 1933, but the character also appeared in ten more movies between 1934 and 1947, with other actors in the lead roles.

Important Added Info: 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 to very good. The card has darkened, typical of Warner Bros. linen lobby cards of this period. The card was used in Australia and there is an Australian rating stamp in the upper right yellow background. There is surface paper loss on the back of the borders where tape was removed, but it has no effect on the front. Otherwise, the card is in pretty nice condition.
