Walter Matthau's hand-painted title card from Gene Kelly's Hello, Dolly! Often considered among the greatest performers in cinematic history, Matthau portrayed Horace Vandergelder, the wealthy businessman who wound up with his own matchmaker, Dolly Levi (Barbra Streisand).

This glass title card with the Academy Award®-winner's name hand-painted elegantly in acrylic was created for the opening credits by famed Hollywood title design studio Pacific Title & Art. It is hand-numbered "2" in the top left corner, lined with tape along its top and bottom, and features an inventory sticker numbered "0987." The glass exhibits minor scratching; the tape exhibits paint stains and fraying from production use and handling. Dimensions: 32" x 22" x 0.25" (81.5 cm x 56 cm x 0.75 cm)

Sold without copyright; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.
