An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More)

Million Dollar Mermaid, the 1952 Mervyn LeRoy fictionalized biography aquatic synchronized swimming musical extravaganza ("MGM's Miracle Technicolor Musical!"; "A musical miracle... Inspired by the true story of bathing beauties!") starring Esther Williams (champion swimmer who made a long series of aquatic swimming movies; as Annette Kellerman), Victor Mature, Walter Pidgeon, David Brian, and Donna Corcoran. Note that this movie was a highly fictionalized biography of Annette Kellerman, who was a major celebrity of the early 1900s! Her nickname was "The Diving Venus", and she was arrested in Boston in 1907 for wearing a then-scandalous one-piece bathing suit! She continued to be controversial and she had a nude appearance in "A Daughter of the Gods", believed to be the first nude scene in a major movie. She was born with deformed legs, but overcame that through swimming, and made three attempts to swim the English Channel, none of which were successful. She appeared in a total of 13 movies between 1909 and 1924.

Important Added Info: This window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded.

Condition: very good.
