Note that Preston Sturges wanted this movie called "Is Marriage Necessary?", but the Production Code Office vetoed that! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card has been personally autographed (signed) by BOTH Claudette Colbert AND Joel McCrea!Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Our consignor purchased this (and other signed cards, which we previously auctioned) from an estate sale of some of David Gest's belongings, including many lobby cards. Mr. Gest was a lobby card collector since the 1970s, and he was a close personal friend of Michael Jackson's (and later married to Liza Minnelli!), and he certainly had many opportunities to meet the celebrities who signed his cards, so we feel 100% certain that the autographs we are offering from his collection are genuine (but the auction house our consignor purchased them from did not issue certificates of authenticity). We are now auctioning the final four cards we were consigned from this cool estate sale (in four separate auctions), and after this, we will have no more of these, unless we are reconsigned any. Condition: good to very good. There are creases and smudges scattered down the right side of the card. Otherwise, the card is in nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
