Date Sold 12/11/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 8 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Photolobbies (11x14; LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Curly Top, the 1935 Irving Cummings orphan juvenile musical melodrama starring Shirley Temple ("She Sings, She Dances, She Charms"), John Boles, Rochelle Hudson, Jane Darwell, and Rafaela Ottiano. Note that this movie was based on a play and novel by Jean Webster from 1912. It was made into a silent movie in 1919 starring Mary Pickford, and was remade as a sound film in 1931 with Janet Gaynor, and then was significantly altered so that Shirley Temple could play the lead in this movie, and then was remade with Fred Astaire and Leslie Caron in 1955. Obviously, it is extremely unlikely that this plot will ever be used again, because in today's world, a story about a middle aged man falling in love with an 18 year old that he "adopts" is very inappropriate! Also note that this was the last movie Shirley Temple made for Fox Films. Her next movie was made after it merged with 20th Century Pictures, and became 20th Century-Fox. During that time, Fox's number one star, Will Rogers died in a plane crash, and surprisingly, Shirley Temple became the studio's new number one star! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that on this classic movie, and on several other major releases of the 1930s and 1940s, Fox issued two entirely different sets of lobby cards! One set was the kind that is regularly seen. The other kind was a "photolobby" set with glossier color scenes from the movie, most often entirely different from the other set, and sometimes the photolobbies were black and white photos that had been hand-colored prior to production. The photolobbies are at least as rare as the regular lobby cards! NOTE THAT THESE PHOTOLOBBIES (unlike later photolobbies we have seen from the late 1930s and early 1940s) ARE PRINTED ON A HEAVYWEIGHT STOCK! Condition: very good to fine. Some of the photolobbies have minor creases in the borders and a few have some stains in the borders, but otherwise, they are in quite nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
