Description

Death Takes a Holiday (Paramount, 1934). Window Card (14" X 22").
Fredric March shows the human side of Death in this touching fantasy, directed by Mitchell Leisen. When Death arrives at an Italian villa for the weekend, Duke Lambert (Guy Standing) is the only one who knows his true identity. Posed as Prince Sirki, Death is loved by Grazia, played by the ethereal Evelyn Venable, who wants to leave with him to the afterlife. The film was an instant hit and remains a popular and thoughtful classic today. This sumptuous window card has been expertly restored to address edge wear, a tear in the left side of the blue field, a few minor holes in the bottom, a small tear on the right side, and a minor surface abrasion above March's name. Fine+ on Cardstock.
