In Old Chicago (released in some countries simply as "Chicago"), the 1938 Henry King Illinois historical big city disaster melodrama ("Never-To-Be-Forgotten! The screen unfolds its mightiest panorama of the struggle and triumph... The life and loves... The heartbreak and happiness... In one of the world's greatest metropolises...!"; "Based on a story by Niven Busch"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; produced by Darryl F. Zanuck; about two brothers, one "good" and one "very bad", and the two women they are involved with, and it is all set in the months leading up to the famous 1871 Chicago fire) starring Tyrone Power Jr., Alice Faye, Don Ameche, Alice Brady (winner of the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Andy Devine, Brian Donlevy, Madame Sul-Te-Wan, Phyllis Brooks, Tom Brown, Sidney Blackmer, Berton Churchill, June Storey, and Paul Hurst. Note that producer Darryl F. Zanuck reportedly wanted to hire Jean Harlow at MGM to star in this epic, but tragically, she passed away. But she was replaced with Alice Faye, and this was her big break that made her a major star.

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. Prior to paperbacking, the borders and the top blank area were trimmed off. There were a few creases and scuffs scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. A talented restorer did an excellent job of replacing the missing borders, and the card displays well!
