RKO, 1938

director Howard Hawks achieved another success with his screwball comedy featuring Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant. The film tells the story of a confused paleontologist who is pursued by an heiress and her pet leopard. One card beautifully depicts Hepburn and Grant behind bars, while another card features beloved actors May Robson and Charles Ruggles. Both cards are unrestored and in excellent condition, with only minimal edge and corner wear.

Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant showcase incredible chemistry in this Howard Hawks comedy, originally designed as a vehicle for Hepburn. In the film, she plays a woman who turns the life of Grant's paleontologist, who constructs brontosaurus skeletons, completely upside down. This movie is regarded as a classic of the screwball genre.

Estimate: $800 - 1,600
