Details
This ultra-rare mini window card promotes the 1938 Edward Sedgwick screwball comedy Gladiator, based on the novel by Philip Wylie. The film features Joe E. Brown, June Travis, Dickie Moore, Lucien Littlefield, Robert Kent, and the legendary wrestler-turned-actor Man Mountain Dean.
The artwork highlights the film’s humorous sports theme, with Joe E. Brown at his comedic best. This mini WC comes from the esteemed collection of Oklahoma collector Robert Brown, co-founder of the OAF conventions, making it an especially notable piece for serious collectors.
Please note that this card has been trimmed to 8″ x 12 1/4″ and shows white tape along the remaining top border. Criss-crossed creases are present near the left of the title. Despite these imperfections, it remains a visually striking and historically significant item.

Why This Piece Stands Out
Mini WCs for Gladiator are extremely rare, especially from this collection. This piece is ideal for collectors of vintage movie memorabilia, Joe E. Brown enthusiasts, or anyone seeking unique pre-war Hollywood promotional items. Its rarity and provenance from Robert Brown’s collection add significant collectible value.
