An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, the classic 1936 Frank Capra (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) romantic inheritance comedy ("A new laugh-and-love team takes America by storm!"; "Rocking America with laughter!"; "Story by Clarence Budington Kelland"; "Screen play by Robert Riskin"; "Another great Frank Capra Production"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a small town "rube" from Mandrake Falls, Vermont, who inherits millions of dollars, and he goes to New York City to claim it, and everyone tries to swindle him out of the money, and a female reporter poses as his girlfriend to write stories about him, and he tries to give all the money away in loans to poor farmers who were hurt by the Great Depression, and he is given a sanity hearing, and he refuses to speak because of his girlfriend's deception, but it all works out quite nicely in the end!) starring Gary Cooper (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Longfellow Deeds), Jean Arthur (as Babe Bennett), George Bancroft, Lionel Stander, Douglass Dumbrille, H.B. Warner, Margaret McWade, Margaret Seddon, Emma Dunn, Walter Catlett, and Margarete Matzenauer. This movie was re-made in 2002 (as "Mr. Deeds") by Adam Sandler, with himself in the starring role. Also note that the plot of this movie is very similar to Times Square Lady, which came out the previous year, but with the sex of the heroes reversed (and the source stories for the two were written by different people). Interestingly, this movie was originally titled "Opera Hat", and it seems that it centered on the part of the story where Cooper becomes the head of the New York Opera House, and while that subplot was retained, the plot was greatly expanded! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this great scene card, with a great romantic close up of Cooper and Arthur! Also note that we are currently offering five different scene cards from this classic Frank Capra movie, in five separate auctions! Finally, 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. Condition: good. There is staining in the upper left border at a diagonal, very slightly entering the background at upper left. There is similar, but much smaller staining, in the lower left border. There are pinholes in the corners and some scuff marks in Arthur's hat. This is the sort of card that responds really well to professional restoration. It is likely that much or all of the stains can be removed through chemical means, and of course, most of the pinholes are in the blank borders, and after proper restoration, the card will display well.
