Original Paramount Pictures Window Card (14×22) for the Wesley Ruggles musical comedy, I’M NO ANGEL (1933) starring Mae West, Cary Grant, and Gregory Ratoff. This was Mae West’s second starring feature, and she is credited with writing the story, the screenplay, and all the dialogue. There were some problems with the censors, and some of the suggestive lines in some of the songs had to be changed. Amazingly, on this window card the tagline “Why don’t you come up and see me?” a quote made famous from her previous film SHE DONE HIM WRONG appears on this window card for I’M NO ANGEL. Following the success of SHE DONE HIM WRONG (1933), this film brought West and Grant together for a second and final time. This original window card is in very fine condition, paperbacked, ready for framing.

Original Paramount Pictures Six Sheet Poster (81×81) for the Lowell Sherman romantic comedy, SHE DONE HIM WRONG (1933) starring Mae West, Owen Moore, and Cary Grant. Mae West was already a veteran of burlesque, vaudeville, and Broadway by the time she made her first movie in 1933 at age 39. This is Mae West’s second film and first starring role in an adaptation of her smash Broadway hit play, “Diamond Lil,” which played to packed houses for years. Indeed, West would go on to write 9 of the 14 screenplays in which she was the star, and by 1935 she was the most highly paid woman in America. This film coupled with her other hit from 1933– I’M NO ANGEL– saved Paramount from bankruptcy. The film was so wildly popular that it made Cary Grant into an instant star. West is the queen of sexual innuendo and suggestive dialogue in this precode comedy; indeed, this film is cited as one of the reasons for instigating the code. Seven countries banned the film as lurid, and the film contains her most famous retort, “Come up sometime and see me.” This original stone lithograph six sheet poster is linen-backed and in very fine plus condition. Please note that the male image on the poster is Owen Moore, not Cary Grant. A one-sheet for this film sold at Heritage Auctions in Dallas for $19,120.00. This poster, while requiring much more space, is a far-more voluptuous portrait of MIss West.
