More Details
This is an original MGM one-sheet poster (27x41) for the Edward Bussell delightful musical comedy, BEST FOOT FORWARD (1943)—starring Lucille Ball, William Gaxton, Tommy Dix, Nancy Walker, and Harry James and His Music Makers. This is the story of a Hollywood star (Ball) who, as part of a publicity stunt, agrees to be the guest of young cadet (Dix) at a military school prom. Nancy Walker, who makes her film debut, is absolutely hilarious as the “Blind Date” girl. The original Broadway musical opened in 1941 and ran for 326 performances. A 1963 off-Broadway revival starred Liza Minnelli. This original style C one sheet poster by artist Jacques Kapralik is linen-backed and in fine condition. The colors are vivid, and there is no missing paper. There is some repair and touch-up to fold lines and fold intersections.
THE BIG STREET (1942) 10445
Original RKO One-Sheet Poster (27×41). Linen-backed. Near Mint.
More Details
This is an original RKO one- sheet Poster (27x41) for the Irving Reis film noir, THE BIG STREET (1942), starring Lucille Ball, Henry Fonda, and Barton MacLane. Based on a Damon Runyon story, this was arguably Ball’s first major role -- as an orchestra singer and the arrogant, surly moll of a small-time gangster (MacLane). Fonda plays “Little Pinks,” a shy busboy who is in love with Ball. When MacLane beats up Ball and she falls down a staircase, the doctors confirm that she will never walk again even after months of treatment. After she and Fonda hitchhike to Florida, he organizes a big party in her honor. It’s all too much for her, and she dies “happy” in Fonda’s arms. Lucille Ball's dear friend, Carol Burnett, described this as her favorite of Ball's films, because it demonstrates Ball's extraordinary range, that was not often seen. Combined elements of noir and romantic drama give the love story a sinister edge. This original one sheet poster is linen-backed and in near mint condition.
LOVER COME BACK (1946) 2505
Original Universal Pictures Scene Lobby Card (11×14). Very fine plus condition.
More Details
Original Universal Pictures Scene Lobby Card (11x14) for the William A. Seiter comedy, LOVER COME BACK (1946)—starring Lucille Ball, George Brent, Vera Zorina, and Charles Winninger. This delightful comedy was a retelling of the faithful wife takes revenge on philandering husband story, except that Lucy’s wardrobe was 1940's high fashion at its best. Also, she sported some very glamorous hairstyles, which combined with the high fashion wardrobe gives us a rare glimpse of Lucille Ball as “glamour queen.” This original scene lobby card of Brent and Ball is in very fine plus condition.
DANCE GIRL DANCE (1940) 5541
Original RKO Scene Lobby Card (11×14). Very fine condition
More Details
Original RKO Scene Lobby Card (11x14) for the Dorothy Arzner comedy, DANCE, GIRL, DANCE (1940)—starring Maureen O’Hara, Louis Hayward, Lucille Ball, and Virginia Field. O’Hara is fabulous as a ballet dancer who has to lower her artistic standards to make a living. Ball is also wonderful in her “bad girl” role. Ball and O’Hara would become life-long friends as a result of making this film together. This is also one of the few Hollywood films of this era to be directed by a woman. You might not notice this fact until the end when O’Hara delivers what can only be described as an early “feminist” speech. This original scene lobby card is in very fine condition.
