    An Original Vintage Theatrical Mexican Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 12 1/2" x 16 1/2")

    Home Town Story, the 1951 Arthur Pierson political bureaucratic newspaper journalism melodrama ("It could happen anywhere!"; "The Romantic School Teacher"; "The Beautiful Secretary"; "The Trapped Child"; "The Fighting Editor"; also written by Arthur Pierson; this odd movie was commissioned by General Motors to glorify "big business"!; it shows a liberal newspaper man who is anti-Big Business, until his sister is trapped in a cave-in, and only modern technology is able to save her, which causes the reporter to realize just how great big business is!; MGM distributed this movie as a favor to GM, and it would have been quickly forgotten except that young Marilyn Monroe had a minor supporting role, which meant it could be shown to large audiences) starring Jeffrey Lynn, Donald Crisp, Marjorie Reynolds, Marilyn Monroe, and Alan Hale Jr.
