Exceptionally rare vintage inscribed turquoise fountain pen signature on a 3x5-inch off-white card, acquired in-person by an indefatigable New York City-based autograph hound in the 1950s. In good condition. Just the third example we have encountered in over 35 years! Wonderful director Leo McCarey-- who gave the world Laurel and Hardy and the earliest Our Gang shorts-- won Oscars for The Awful Truth (1937) and Going My Way (1944), and is also remembered for films like Duck Soup (1933), the heartbreaking masterpiece Make Way for Tomorrow (1937), The Bells of St. Mary's (1945), and An Affair to Remember (1957).
