Description

Platinum Blonde (Columbia, 1931). Lobby Card (11" X 14"). Drama.
Twenty-year-old Jean Harlow was on her way to stardom as the title character of this witty and thoroughly enjoyable romp directed by Frank Capra. Robert Williams plays newsman Stew Smith who falls for society girl Harlow who marries him as an experiment to see if she can turn the poor slob into a gentleman. What she doesn't count on is his abhorrence of being a bird in a gilded cage and his growing affection for his Girl Friday, played by an ethereal Loretta Young. Williams is an amazing comedic force in this picture which would be the last of his too few films, as he died at age thirty-four, a month after its release. This restored lobby card had pinholes in the corners, a corner chip in the top right, and a scratch in the right side of the image. It is a stunning and colorful card with the blonde bombshell herself center stage. Fine/Very Fine.
