Description

Offered here is a vintage original 11x14 in. US lobby card card from the popular 1930's pre-code Depression-themed drama,
AFTER TOMORROW
, released in 1932 by the Fox Film Corporation and
directed by Frank Borzage
. During the Great Depression, a engaged couple (Charles Farrell, Marian Nixon) faces financial and family troubles that obstruct their marriage.
The image features a great pre-code scene of handsome Peter Piper (
Charles Farrell
) sitting on a sofa as attractive blonde Betty (
Greta Granstedt
) sits on the arm and leans into him seductively while his fiancee, Sidney Taylor (
Marian Nixon
), watches their interaction from the doorway. This vintage original lobby card is unrestored in fine+ condition with a 1 in. diagonal tear on the top of the right border that enters the background area; a 0.25 in. diagonal crease on the bottom right corner; and light signs of wear on the tip of the bottom left corner. There are no pinholes, other tears, stains, or other flaws and the color tints are fresh and vibrant without any signs of fading.
Provenance:
The Morris Everett Jr. Collection.
From IMDb: "Excellent early talking picture with loads of "pre-code" racy language and situations, scandalous behavior, and a genuinely touching romance between Charles Farrell and Marian Nixon. Don't be fooled into thinking this is just another light romance. The terrific dialog is often surprisingly frank, especially when Minna Gombell -- in the performance of her life -- tells her daughter things no child should hear from a parent. Even 75 years later, that scene is genuinely shocking. All the parts are well acted, but a particular standout is Josephine Hull; her scenes with William Collier Sr. are absolutely hilarious. Direction by Frank Borzage is, as usual, nearly flawless. This film really should be much better known."
