Anything Can Happen José Ferrer Signed Original Lobby Card
Anything Can Happen José Ferrer Signed Original Lobby Card It took great courage to make a positive film about immigration in America during the height of the McCarthy Witch Hunts of the late 1940's and early 1950's. That was the case of "Anything Can Happen" (1952). Especially when the film follows the bittersweet story of a Russian who comes to America with the hopes of becoming a citizen! It was just this controversy that attracted award-winning actor José Ferrer to the project. Especially since it was based on one of his favorite books, a world-wide best selling autobiographical novel. The film follows Giorgi Papashvily (Ferrer) from his departure in Georgia, Russia, to his arrival at Ellis Island, through his early rock-bottom jobs in New York's Lower East Side and his harrowing journey to fulfill his dream in the "Golden Land" of becoming an American. Few films up to this point showed the blight of the immigrant, ironically since all the Studio Heads came off the same boat, as did 90% of American's and their ancestors! This is an original Lobby Card from "Anything Can Happen", signed by José Ferrer. These collectables are rare, since Ferrer was not one to give autographs, especially on artwork or posters of his own projects. Lobby Card is 14"x11
