Description

It Happened One Night (Columbia, 1934). Window Card (14" X 22").
Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable make movie magic with this flawless screwball comedy from beloved director Frank Capra. Spoiled socialite Colbert has a hard time running away from her father (Walter Connolly) since she has no conception of money or of how common people live. Ace reporter Gable is only too happy to show her the realities of life in exchange for a front page story. Each scene is classic - from the hitchhiking contest, the art of dunking doughnuts, the singing of "The Man on the Flying Trapeze," to the walls of Jericho. Both stars won Academy Awards for their performances, which perfectly blend romance, comedy, and witty dialogue. Offered by Heritage for the first time is this gorgeous window card, which has been professionally restored to address a few pinholes in the image, a small tear in the right side of the blue background, with some touch-up in the white areas. These issues are no longer apparent, and this very special poster displays magnificently. Fine/Very Fine on Cardstock.
