"It's A Wonderful Life", 1946
Original Lobby Card Movie Poster (11x14")
Starring James Stewart & Donna Reed

Rare vintage Original lobby card movie poster for this iconic Holiday Classic!   No introduction is necessary here. One of the most beloved classics of all time!  For the past several years it has become an annual Christmas event.  Millions watch it every year and can't wait until next year when they can see it again. To this day the only other comparable classic to command such annual devotion is "The Wizard of Oz" . Not even "Gone with the Wind" has resulted in the demand and remarkable global popularity as these two classics. And some may argue that not even OZ hits the emotional cord as powerful as A Wonderful Life.

Here is an Original lobby card movie poster used to promote the original showing of this epic holiday classic back in 1946. Before the days of monopolized movie theatres (i.e. Showcase Cinemas) lobby cards were a very important promotional medium to entice theatre goers with scenes of upcoming movies. Eight were produced in a set (seven scene cards and one title card) and were displayed in an illuminated showcase so people could get a teaser of the movie.

Original Lobby cards are 11x14” and made of a heavier paper (then one sheets). This card is in Excellent  Un-restored condition.  Has some vintage age toning at the very edges of the border which adds a nice touch of vintage authenticity.   Pinholes at border corners.  The image area is unaffected and beautiful .   NO tears, missing pieces, stains or creases as typically seen on these 75 year old lobby cards.   The colors are extremely vivid and the vintage artwork is stunning.  Great scene with Stewart and Potter in heated argument.
