Note that one of Warner Bros' executives was murdered by the Nazis in Germany in the 1930s, which caused that studio to be the first to cease distributing their movies in Germany. They also were the first major studio to make this openly anti-Nazi movie, which pulled no punches! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this lobby card, and it sold for $362! Note that Warner Bros. did something very unusual with the lobby cards for this movie! They created what APPEARS to be TWO completely different lobby card sets (read on to see why I say "appears to be"). On one of the sets, each of the eight cards looks exactly like a "title card", but each has a very different image. However, one of those eight cards is the same as the half-sheet, so we consider that the true "title card", but the other seven "scenes cards" from that set absolutely look just like title cards. In addition, Warner Bros. also created seven "regular" scene cards showing actors from the movie. Those seven scene cards have been found with the title card from the other set described above, so we imagine that title card served as the title card for both sets, meaning there were 15 cards in all, not 16! We don't know of Warner Bros. doing this for any other movie in the 1930s, but of course, this was a very special movie. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.. Also 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: very good. The card has darkened slightly, typical of Warner Bros. linen lobby cards of this period, but less than most linen cards, and it is not at all fragile. It had a pinhole in the background between the man and woman's heads and some scuffs in other background areas. Someone put a small piece of tape on the back of the pinhole, and also on the back of the top left corner where there were creases. Otherwise, the card is in nice condition.
