Vintage original 11x14 in. US lobby card from the 1940's comedy/mystery THE CORPSE CAME C.O.D., released in 1947 by Columbia Pictures and directed by Henry Levin. When a dead body turns up in the home of a famous actress, two reporters (George Brent, Joan Blondell), who also happen in be in love with one another, compete to get the real scoop.

As indicated in the lower right corner of the image area, this is scene card #3 from the set of 8 cards. The image features an exterior nighttime medium shot of the two competing reporters, Joe Medford (George Brent) and Rosemary Durant (Joan Blondell) talking to a man as they interact with each other while the man stares at Medford. The color tints are rich and vibrant and the film's title is rendered over a lime green background. Printed for the film's original 1947 US theatrical release, this vintage original lobby card is unrestored and in fine+ condition with a very light 1.25 in. horizontal crease just beneath Miss Blondell's bent right elbow; light signs of each corner; and a 0.5 in. horizontal crease on the center of the right border. The color tints are fresh and vibrant without any signs of fading.

 

As an inside joke, there is a reference in the film to the name "Archie Leach," which was the real name of movie icon Cary Grant.
