    Mint
    Condition. Lobby Cards measure 11 x 14 inches.
    I bought this set in the 1960s during the late David Shepard's tenure with Blackhawk Films; one of many delicious artifacts including posters for Marion Leonard's CARMEN and Dorothy Comingore's pre CITIZEN KANE oddity, PRISON TRAIN.
    The 1949 reissue cards prominently displays Olivier's name over the title, unlike the original, which probably displayed Elizabeth Bergner. Note the inclusion of
    Sir
    Laurence Olivier, knighted in 1947. The film also co-stars Henry Ainley, a major Shakespearean actor of legend.
    Check out the book and DVD set called PLAYING SHAKESPEARE.
    Although this is a 1949 reissue set, it is now 73 years old, and with Olivier's name over that of Bergner

    and its Like New, Unused, condition, warrants the price of admission.
