Lobby Card (11" x 14")
Fine+
MGM, 1934

Director W.S. Van Dyke achieved significant success with his comedy mystery based on the famous story by Dashiell Hammett, which led to several sequels. This stunning lobby card features William Powell, Myrna Loy, and Henry Wadsworth. It has been professionally restored to reattach a lower right corner, fix a crease in the lower left corner, and address border wear with airbrushing. The restoration work was done exceptionally well, and the card presents beautifully, showcasing a striking close-up of husband and wife, Nick and Nora Charles.

William Powell and Myrna Loy's pairing on the silver screen is one of the most remarkable in cinematic history, with few duos matching the energy and charm they exhibited as Nick and Nora Charles. Their performances brought the characters' playful wit to life as they navigated Dashiell Hammett's murder mystery, often with a drink in hand. "The Thin Man" was a resounding success, earning director Van Dyke his first of four Oscar nominations for Best Picture and Powell his first of three nominations for Best Actor.

Estimate: $1,000 - 2,000
