An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Mini Movie Window Card (WC; measures 8" x 12 1/4" [20 x 31 cm]) (Learn More) Only Angels Have Wings, the classic 1939 Howard Hawks romantic love triangle pilot airplane aviation adventure thriller ("Together for the first time"; "Each day a rendezvous with peril... each night a meeting with romance!"; a wild story of a showgirl arriving in a mythical tiny South American country where a cynical American expatriate runs an airplane mail delivery service which involves treacherous plane flights over the Andes; there are other pilots who risk their lives and other romantic involvements, and the plot is really complicated, but the movie moves quickly, and it has a great cast, and is considered one of Howard Hawks' very best movies) starring Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, Thomas Mitchell, Rita Hayworth, Richard Barthelmess, Don 'Red' Barry, Noah Beery Jr., Miisa Sierra, Allyn Joslyn, and Sig Ruman. Note that you almost never see major Hollywood movies with two extremely attractive female leads who are fan favorites, but this one had both Jean Arthur, who had been acting for many years, but was at the height of her popularity, and Rita Hayworth, who would soon become one of America's most favorite sexy actresses!

Important Added Info: Note that this mini window card has been personally autographed (signed) by Jean Arthur! Our consignor is a longtime collector who purchased this signed item from a reputable dealer. He does not have a certificate of authenticity, but we believe the signature to likely be authentic. Note that there is an inscription on the mini window card that reads "To Robert Brown"! Robert Brown is a legendary Oklahoma collector since the 1960s, and one of his great loves is mini window cards. We can't imagine that Mr. Brown would have had this incredibly rare and desirable mini window card signed unless he was certain that it was Miss Arthur signing it! Also note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this mini window card! Finally, note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 8" x 12 1/4" [20 x 31 cm]. As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes. Condition: good. The card was lightly stained in much of the entire right, which enters into Arthur's face (see our image of the back of the card to best see where the staining is). The blank top was mostly trimmed off. There is paper loss in the bottom left blank corner that affects the "Co" of "Copyrighted" and some other minor border wear. Modern restoration can surely greatly improve the appearance of the card by removing much or all of the staining through chemical means, and after proper restoration, the card will display wonderfully!
