This LOBBY CARD is an studio release (vintage, from the original Hollywood studio/distributor original) and not a digital copy or reproduction printing.
DESCRIPTION:
Excluding a brace of 1980s TV-movie appearances, It Happens Every Thursday was the final feature film appearance of Loretta Young. As radiantly beautiful at 40 as she'd been as a teen-aged ingenue, Young plays Jane McAvoy, the pregnant wife of big-city newspaper reporter Bob McAvoy (John Forsythe). Tired of the urban rat race, Bob moves to a small California town and assumes ownership of a just-getting-by weekly paper. It's a hand-to-mouth existence for the first few editions, and the situation isn't remedied by the cloistered, resentful behavior of the local citizenry. The outcome of the plot hinges on a publicity stunt engineered by Bob: an attempt to artificially create rain for the drought-ridden community. The well-chosen supporting cast of It Happens Every Thursday includes Edgar Buchanan, Jimmy Conlin, Willard Waterman, and in her last film, Gladys George.

This quality vintage and original Lobby Card is in GOOD to VERY GOOD condition with ink writing in the top white border, a crease in the bottom righthand corner, staining in the lower border, pinholes near the corners, patina (hand dirt/aging) and the back side looks painted on - otherwise it would be PERFECT), it has sharp, crisp details and it is not a digital or a repro copy.

BACKGROUND:
As a long-time and former journalist, I was hooked early when a character bought a copy of the magazine "Editor & Publisher," the bible of the newspaper industry -- or it was then. And was into the many years of my being in the industry. (I even wrote an article for it.) But it might not even exist now, since newspapers themselves are dying like the proverbial flies, or cutting days of publication from seven to as few as three. What the magazine-buying character found was an ad selling a small-town weekly, the owning of which, at one time, was many a journalist's dream. And, for some, maybe for many, the dream still exists, although it is probably more difficult now to make a living with such a publication. Many of the difficulties shown in this movie are drawn from real life. People will not subscribe. People will not advertise. But they by gosh expect to have their stories covered, their clubs, their sewing circles, their engagements and weddings, their schools, their churches. "And be sure to spell my name right this time: It's 'D-O-W.' With a 'D' and not a 'C.' " (I once misspelled "Raul" as "Raoul," French vs. the correct Spanish. First rule: ASK the spelling, especially names.) When a farmer complained about no coverage for the drought, he expressed a valid complaint. With an almost non-existent staff, a paper might not be able to cover much outside the nearest neighborhoods around the paper's office. The editor's response here is rather extreme, even for California, and takes the story out of the mundane. The cast in this Universal Picture is top of the line, and they are handed some excellent well-written dialogue. I highly recommend "It Happens Every Thursday," a very good copy of which is available at YouTube.
