Description
Offered here is a vintage original U.S. window card from the classic 1930's missionary in China dramaTHE RIGHT TO LOVE,
released in 1930 by Paramount Pictures and directed by Richard Wallace. Based upon the novel by Zoe Akins and Susan Glaspell, a woman (Ruth Chatterton) becomes estranged daughter when the girls learns that she is illegitimate.
The artwork on this original release window card is truly stunning when seen in person and you can never go wrong with a jet-black background for a classic vintage movie poster! Star
Ruth Chatterton
lies happily in the arms of
David Manners
as the lower portion of their bodies disappear into the background with the exception of her limp left arm.
This example offer here is currently in fair unrestored condition only. The blank theater imprint space at the top has been trimmed off (which is very common for window cards and acceptable by many collectors) and measures 14 x 16.5 inches. There is a horizontal crease across the entire width of the card just under Manners' nose and just above Miss Chatterton's nose; several good-sized chips on the edges; multiple tears and creases around the edges; a light water stain on Miss Chatterton's image that, fortunately, is very unobtrusive (see photo of verso as well); and random surface dirt from age. This window card could easily be restored to the full glory that this beautiful piece of classic1930's movie advertising deserves. As a point of comparisons,
we've included a photo of a different example of this window card
that has the imprint space attached and is in great-looking condition so you can see how spectacular this classic piece of 1930's movie advertising can look. We've also included a great photographic image from the film.
This window card will be packed between multiple pieces of sturdy cardboard to prevent damage during transit since the nature of the cardstock is much less tolerant to handling than other poster formats.
