Note that MGM took a great chance in casting W.C. Fields in the role of Micawber. No doubt everyone expected Fields to greatly ham up the role, and turn this serious subject into slapstick, but instead, he gave a wonderful performance, and added greatly to the movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this Italian lobby card measures 13 1/4" x 19 1/4" [34 x 49 cm]. The photographic image is "tipped-in", which is how many Italian lobby cards were made (they would make a set of lobby cards that consisted of a stock lobby card with an inset area that was 7 1/2" x 9 1/4", and glue eight different 7x9s on to eight stock lobby cards, thus creating an 8 card set). Also note that W.C. Fields accepted the minor role of Micawber in this major MGM production, and since he was not one of the lead stars, he is not featured prominently on the U.S. posters, and he only appears on a single U.S. lobby card from the set. But this Italian photobusta shows a wonderful portrait of Fields! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
