Auction History Result 8g881 POLYGAMY LC R40s man with gun threatens happy couple, great Illegal Wives re-titling! Date Sold 4/25/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1940s) Re-Release (re-titled "Illegal Wives" for this re-release) Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Polygamy, the 1936 Pat Carlyle underage multiple marriage exploitation melodrama starring Ann Marian, Bruce Wyndham, Charles Maurice, Slim Simms, and Ethel Clark. Note that this movie was made in 1936 by Ted Toddy's Unusual Pictures, but we have never seen any movie paper from that release. In the 1940s, the rights to it were bought by J.D. Kendis, and released through his Jay Dee Kay Pictures as "Illegal Wives", "Child Marriage", and "Child Marriage in Polygamy", although we have only seen movie paper under the title of "Illegal Wives". For the "Illegal Wives" release, these taglines were added: "Exposed for the first time"; "The doctrine of many wives!.."; "Virgins sacrificed on the alter of celestial marriage"; "America's new social problem"! If anyone knows more about any of this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Important Added Info: Note that this movie was first released in 1939 under the title "Polygamy", but was likely exhibited in small towns and cities throughout the country over the next decade, given its racy subject matter (underage multiple marriage!). This lobby card is from an undated (likely 1940s) re-release, with the alternate title "Illegal Wives", which according to the distributors was "America's New Social Problem", which I think is stretching the truth past the breaking point! Condition: very good. There are a few tack holes in the borders, but the card is otherwise in pretty nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
