Auction History Result 9e082 NINTH GUEST WC '34 great close up art of Donald Cook holding scared Genevieve Tobin! Date Sold 12/31/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) The Ninth Guest, the 1934 Roy William Neill Manhattan New York City crime murder mystery melodrama (about eight people who are invited to a fancy penthouse for dinner, and when they arrive, the host is nowhere to be seen, and the host's voice comes over a loudspeaker and tells them he hates each of them, and that he will kill them all before the night is out!) starring Donald Cook, Genevieve Tobin, Hardie Albrite, Edward Ellis, and Edwin Maxwell. Note that this completely forgotten movie has one of the most famous plots of movie history! It was "borrowed" by Agatha Christie for her "Ten Little Indians", and was re-used in the 1939 Boris Karloff movie, "The Man They Could Not Hang", and lots of other movies have borrowed some or all of this plot, including the comedy spoof "Murder by Death", which closely parallels the plot of this movie, except in a humorous way! 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 original 1934 movie paper of any kind from this movie is incredibly rare! We have never sold ANYTHING from this movie before! Condition: fair. Someone used this card to create backing boards for picture frames, and they cut it into two pieces, and discarded a 2" x 15" piece out of the upper right of the card (as clearly seen in our image)! The two pieces can be joined (as seen in our image), and it appears that pretty much only background (and a spooky green figure) are affected, but we have never seen a complete card, so we can't say that for certain. Obviously, one would prefer to find this card complete and uncut, but we have no idea where such a card is! The two pieces are both otherwise in pretty nice condition!
