Blowing Wild 1953 original vintage lobby card on heavy card stock. 11x14 inches. "Blowing Wild" is a 1953 American drama film directed by Hugo Fregonese and starring Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck, and Anthony Quinn. It was written by Philip Yordan. The story revolves around a love triangle set in Mexico's oilfields, where bandits are still active. Movie lobby cards are a uniquely American creation. They are a hybrid of movie posters and, usually, movie star photos. Back in the early 1910s, the small nickelodeons, where films were first shown, started morphing into larger, more permanent, and more elegant venues.
