Auction History Result 7k147 TOAST OF NEW YORK linen WC '37 best art of Frances Farmer, Cary Grant, Edward Arnold & Oakie! Date Sold 11/30/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) The Toast of New York, the 1937 Rowland V. Lee New York City Wall Street financier romantic comedy ("Based on 'Book of Daniel Drew' by Bouck White and the story 'Robber Barons' by Matthew Josephson"; loosely based on the real life of Jim Fisk, one of the great Wall Street tycoons of the late 1800s, with Frances Farmer playing his mistress) starring Edward Arnold, Cary Grant, Frances Farmer, Jack Oakie, Donald Meek, and Gavin Gordon. Note that this movie was originally called "The Robber Barons", and the title was not changed until late in production, which is why the still code for this movie is "R.B." There is a brief montage sequence in the movie called "The Seven Temptations", and Frances Farmer appears in that montage, sometimes wearing a black wig. It seems likely that this sequence was originally much longer, but that it was cut down for the final print, for unknown reasons. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. The window card was never folded across the middle, but there was a partially horizontal fold across the upper part of the image, running through the top of Grant's credit. There were pinholes and tears around the edges of the poster and surface paper loss in the right of the bottom border. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer left alone the border defects, likely rightfully assuming they will not show when the poster is framed. Learn More about condition grades
