An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Louis Bromfield's ("He wrote 'The Rains Came'") It All Came True, the 1940 Lewis Seiler romantic love triangle crime vaudeville screwball comedy (based on the novel 'Better Than Life' by Louis Bromfield, "Author of 'The Rains Came'"; about a gangster who hides out in a boarding house, and it is filled with oddball theatrical types, and he realizes he can make a nightclub with them, and of course, he has giant success, including finding sexiest undiscovered torch singer Ann Sheridan) starring Ann Sheridan ("America's most flamous girl..."), Jeffrey Lynn, Humphrey Bogart, Zasu Pitts, Una O'Connor, Jessie Busley, and John Litel. Note that Humphrey Bogart became a major star in 1937 after the release of "The Petrified Forest", but three years later, he had not found similar roles to keep him at the top, and by 1940, his star had fallen low enough that he was given very tiny third billing behind Ann Sheridan and Jeffrey Lynn in this movie (of course, all that would change in a year with "The Maltese Falcon", followed by "Casablanca" the year after!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that original 1940 release movie paper from this title is more rare than most 1940s Warner Bros. titles. This is almost certainly because Humphrey Bogart was given only tiny billing when the movie was first released in 1940, and the movie was re-released in 1945 and Bogart was given billing equal to Sheridan. It seems likely that during the re-release, they used up (or destroyed) the original 1940 movie paper that was left in poster exchanges, which would account for its rarity. However, the lobby card offered here is surely from the original 1940 release! Note that there is a stamp on the back that reads "FROM THE COLLECTION OF Michael R. Hawks", who most would consider the premier lobby card collector and expert in the world (and he is still an active collector, looking for the last few items he needs!). 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. Condition: very good. The card has pinholes in the corners and some faint smudges around the edges, with a few tiny stains. 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
