An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Deluxe 7 1/2" x 9 3/4" Key Book Still (Learn More) For the Defense, the 1930 John Cromwell romantic courtroom lawyer legal jury tampering melodrama (about New York's most prominent criminal attorney, who represents the biggest gangsters, and his sexy girlfriend, Kay Francis, is put on trial for manslaughter, and he can't get her off any other way, so he bribes a juror, but then he is arrested himself for jury tampering) starring William Powell ("You've seen him as a Detective - an Escaped Convict - a Gambler - Now see William Powell as the Attorney"), Kay Francis, Scott Kolk, John Elliot, and William B. Davidson. Note that Powell's character was based on a notorious New York attorney, William J. Fallon, known as "The Great Mouthpiece", and the events of the movie strongly parallel those of Fallon's life (and there were other movies that used the life of this colorful lawyer).

Important Added Info: Note that the still is glued to a linen-like backing (we think it is highly likely this was a key book still, and that someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the top of the still, no doubt so it could be put in a frame). Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
