Damsel In Distress, A (RKO, 1937). Midget Window
<B>A Damsel In Distress (RKO, 1937).</B></I> Midget Window Card (8" X 14"). Based on a story by P. G. Wodehouse, this lively song-and-dance film starring Fred Astaire, George Burns, and Gracie Allen, won a well-deserved Academy Award for Best Dance Direction. This was Astaire's first RKO musical without longtime partner Ginger Rogers, and, although this movie is a superb vehicle not only for Astaire but for Burns and Allen as well, it lost money at the box office, prompting the studio to reunite Astaire and Rogers as soon as possible. This lovely window card, with a dashing image of Astaire, displays several pin/tack holes, a small amount of water damage at the top, and a half inch tear in the right border. Additionally, there is a clean cut that starts at the bottom border and extends 7.5 inches into the image. Regardless, this is a great card from a classic film. <I>From the Collection of Denver Sherry</B></I>. Very Good.*****<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
