MATA HARI 1931; 1939 re-release
No binding. Fine. Fine Art Print Vintage original 11 x 14"" 28 x 35 cm. lobby card USA. Greta Garbo Ramon Novarro Lionel Barrymore Lewis Stone Karen Morley dir: George Fitzmaurice; MGM. One of the finest and most legendary of the Greta Garbo films. Today just the images of Garbo in her role of the infamous German spy who ended up in front of a firing squad for her work are iconic. Even in the less restricted pre-Code days censors demanded cuts in the script and even in the finished film. Stills of Garbo in a see-through gown exist yet the scene is no longer in the film. So popular was the film and Garbo -- particularly in the foreign markets -- that MGM attempted to re-release the film in 1936 but was not given approval; they had to wait three years before the Hays Office would approve the re-release in 1939. In this scene card ""He would never know of her fate"" Mata Hari has a last goodbye with her lover Alexis Navarro before she goes out to face the firing squad. One minor crease in blank corner FINE. unknown books

MERRY WIDOW THE 1925
No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 11 x 14"" 28 x 35 cm. title lobby card USA. Mae Murray John Gilbert Roy D'Arcy Tully Marshall dir: Eric von Stroheim; MGM. A classic silent film and one of the best of the genre. Also one of the most notorious because of its tempestuous production. A prince must woo a wealthy widowed dancer in order to keep her money in the country. Based on the Franz Lehar operetta and trotted out twice more in later years by MGM the problems Stroheim caused in production particularly with star Murray whose temper was equal to his and with executive Irving Thalberg were such that this would be the last film he would direct for MGM. One of the most expensive and decadent films of the silent era and orgy scene had to be severely cut for censorship reasons. Shot in 1924 Joan Crawford and Clark Gable reportedly appeared as extras. The card has a large pin hole at the top left corner which has been reinforced with archival tape on the verso. There are pin holes at the right and bottom left corners as well as a chip to the bottom left corner. There is light spotting and smudging over all the card VERY GOOD. unknown books

No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 11 x 14"" 28 x 35 cm. lobby card USA. Warner Baxter Myrna Loy Charles Butterworth Mae Clarke Phillips Holmes C. Henry Gordon dir: W.S. Van Dyke; MGM. Art Deco opulence in the MGM/Cedric Gibbons art direction Alexander Toluboff and Edwin B. Willis as associates was the highlight of this film and of this exquisite card featuring Myrna Loy and Warner Baxter. This was the story of a crooked lawyer whose specialty is getting mob members off for their crimes. Loy plays his girlfriend but as this film is not only pre-Code for her it is also pre-Nora Charles also basically a prostitute. Her gowns were by Adrian nonetheless. Included was the new hit song by Jimmy McHugh and Dorothy Fields"" Don't Blame Me"". Fast-paced script by the team of Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett and fast-paced direction by MGM team player W.S. Van Dyke made this film a perfect example of a 1930s big city gangster film.

No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 41 x 27"" 103 x 68 cm. one sheet poster USA. Lana Turner John Garfield Leon Ames Cecil Kellaway Hume Cronyn dir: Tay Garnett; MGM. A classic poster of the film noir genre. An unhappily married woman and a drifter plan and carry out the murder of her husband.

Norma Shearer Joan Crawford Rosalind Russell Mary Boland Paulette Goddard Joan Fontaine Phyllis Povah Virginia Weidler Lucile Watson Marjorie Main dir: George Cukor: MGM. One of the most famous films of the 1930s with the wittiest of scripts and dialogue. F. Scott Fitzgerald contributed to the script based on Clare Booth Luce's Broadway play.

Minor storage wear slight curling at top and bottom minor corner creasing. Near fine. Mega-talented Connie Francis hit her stride in 1960 when she was recognized worldwide as the most successful female singing artist.

For a few years MGM did their best to make her a star but the musical genre that she was expert in lost audience interest as the '60s became an entirely different time. Large format montage photos such as this kept her front and center with the fans. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer unknown

GREER GARSON JAMES CAGNEY BEST ACTOR AND ACTRESS FOR 1942 1943 Photo
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. No binding. Near Fine. Los Angeles; Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer 1943. Vintage original 8 x 10" 20 x 25 cm. black-and-white single weight glossy silver gelatin photo. Ink stamp photo number and minor soiling on verso near fine. Academy Awards' Best Actress for MGM's Mrs. Miniver Greer Garson and Best Actor for Warner Brothers' Yankee Doodle Dandy James Cagney hold their statuettes as Cagney dabs Garson's tears for the MGM photographer. Though the Academy had their official photographers the studios — which basically ran and determined the winners at the time — were allowed to have their own images too. For the 1942 Awards held in early-1943 the winners appear to have been given the gold statuettes. Later during the war years winners would be given plaster versions which they were allowed to trade for gold statues after the end of World War II. Garson had by then become MGM's reigning queen of grand dramatic films. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer unknown
