An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 17" [36 x 43 cm]) (Learn More) Big City, the 1937 Frank Borzage New York City public transportation taxi crime thriller ("Roaring drama of city love!"; "Screen Play by Dore Schary and Hugo Butler"; about a group of independent taxi drivers fighting against a taxi corporation) starring Luise Rainer, Spencer Tracy, Charley Grapewin, Janet Beecher, Eddie Quillan, Victor Varconi, Oscar O'Shea, Max 'Slapsie Maxie' Rosenbloom, and James Flavin NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that it looks like the left, right, and bottom borders might have been trimmed, but actually, they were printed with a "full bleed", something MGM was doing at the time, which means there were no white borders when the card was printed (although the top blank area has been neatly trimmed off). Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 17" [36 x 43 cm]. Also note that 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: good. Most of the blank top was trimmed off. The card was in a frame and there are tears and bits of surface paper loss around the edges, with paper loss in the top right blank corner. There are just a few scuffs and bits of surface paper loss scattered in the image. There is darkening in the top center of the card, most noticeable in the word "LUISE" and the "SPENC" of "SPENCER", and in almost all of the title, except for the right of the "Y" of "CITY". In spite of all these defects, the card could be displayed as it is, and certainly, it can be restored, but please read our description above and look at our super-sized image before placing a bid on this card.
