An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Reckless, the 1935 Victor Fleming romantic love triangle musical screwball comedy ("See Jean Harlow dance! Hear Jean Harlow sing the blues!"; "The giant melody drama!"; "MGM's mammoth musical melodrama!"; Harlow is a showgirl who is madly in love with sports promoter Powell, but he doesn't have time for her, and rich Tone chases after her, but discovers his rich high society friends won't accept showgirl Harlow, even after he marries her) starring Jean Harlow, William Powell, Franchot Tone, May Robson, Ted Healy (most famous as the person who started The Three Stooges; they were first billed as "Ted Healy and his Stooges"; he let them go on their own, hiring replacement "Stooges", but that did not work out well at all!), Nat Pendleton, Robert Light, Rosalind Russell, Mickey Rooney, Allen 'Farina' Hoskins, Man Mountain Dean (the real life wrestler, as himself!), Allan Jones ("The new crooning sensation!"), Henry Stephenson, and Leon Ames NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good. The card had a 2" tear in the top border extending down into William Powell's hair. There was a 1/2" tear and a 1" tear to the left of that, and a semi-circular 2" tear in the right of the top border, extending into the top of the man's hair. There was a 1" tear in the top of the left border and tiny paper loss in the top right corner. Someone "fixed" all these defects by putting masking tape on the back of each of the tears, and then putting a 1 1/2" wide piece of masking tape on the back of the entire top of the card. They also performed slight paint restoration to the front of those areas. There are also three tape repairs in the bottom border (two are to replace small paper loss in the bottom blank corners and one is to mend a 1/2" tear near the middle of the bottom border). There is a pinhole in the left blank border and tiny paper loss in the edge of the border near it, which the restorer left alone. There are a few scuffs and smudges scattered in the image. Overall, the card displays pretty well, but you can clearly see that there has been some restoration performed in the top of the card, so please bear this in mind before bidding on this card.
