An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card #6 (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Hollow Triumph, the 1948 Steve Sekely mistaken identity gambling crime film noir melodrama ("His scar marked them both!!!"; "From the novel, 'Hollow Triumph,' by Murray Forbes"; about a criminal who is on the run from the law, and he happens on a psychiatrist who is his exact double, except for a scar on his face, and the criminal must give himself a scar that matches the psychiatrist's, but he is looking at a photo when he is doing so, and because the photo is printed in a mirror image, he puts the scar on the wrong side of his face!; amazingly, no one notices the scar in the wrong place, including the psychiatrist's secretary/lover, but ultimately, he is found out!) starring Paul Henreid, Joan Bennett, Eduard Franz, Leslie Brooks, John Qualen, Mabel Paige, and Herbert Rudley. Note that this movie opened in August of 1948, and apparently did not do too well on its first release. In 1949, it was re-titled "The Scar", and a very similar one-sheet was created, with the second title, but there are other slight differences between the two one-sheets as well. In the past, we have always seen the posters from "The Scar" called alternate releases, and we know that there was a 1949 re-packaging of the movie under the new title (and there may have been edits to the film, but we know that the movie WAS released under both titles in 1948 as well). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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: fine. Note that this lobby card is in excellent condition and is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of the card! The new owner of this card will find it hard to believe that the card was not recently created, but we assure you it is 100% original from 1948, even though it has survived so amazingly well!
