The most magnificent picture ever!"; "David O.

Important Added Info: Note that "Gone With The Wind" premiered in Atlanta in May of 1939. It had a limited release in a limited number of cities in December of 1939. In 1940, it was widely released, and posters were printed that said, "Exactly as originally presented, nothing cut, full-length", to let people know they were still seeing the full movie. In December of 1941, the movie finally made it to neighborhood theaters, and new posters were again printed, this time with the tagline, "Nothing cut but the price", to let people know the movie was still complete, even though they were paying a bargain price. Therefore, the movie was never out of release through the end of 1941. Some people might call the 1940 and 1941 posters re-releases, but that seems wrong to me, because the movie was never out of release during that time, so how could it be "re-released"? Similarly, the 1939 set of lobby cards all have artwork, and have a "picture frame" artwork border around them. The 1940 set of lobby cards has totally different borders, with color photographic images. The lobby card offered here is from the 1940 lobby set. Note that the 1939 artwork set does not contain a card of Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh together, whereas the 1940 lobby card set does contain two such cards! Condition: very good. There are several tiny pinholes in each corner and in the center of the top border. There is small surface paper loss in the upper part of the left blank border. There was a small area of paper loss in the bottom right blank border, and someone taped a small piece from another card to the back of that area. There is a tiny tear in the lower left border. There is a 3" crease in the upper right background area and a few smudges around the edges of the card. There is a 3/4" tear in the left of the top border. Other than the above, the card is in pretty nice condition, and other than the single repair described above, the card has had no other restoration! Learn More about condition grades
