An Undated (probably 1950s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Australian Daybill Movie Poster (db; measures 13 1/4" x 29 1/2" [34 x 75 cm]) (Learn More) Marked Woman, the 1937 Lloyd Bacon & Michael Curtiz bad girl prostitution crime murder thriller ("A Star Teaming You'll Never Forget!!!"; "The Kind Ladies Don't Talk To!"; "Meet the girls who got caught in a racket!"; "You work the way I tell you, or else!"; about a "party girl", whose sister is murdered, and a crusading DA convinces her to testify against the gangsters who killed her sister) starring Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart, Lola Lane, Isabel Jewell, Eduardo Ciannelli, Jane Bryan, Rosalind Marquis, Mayo Methot (who was married Bogart in real life the year after this movie, and they stayed married until he left her for Lauren Bacall), Allen Jenkins, John Litel, Ben Welden, Henry O'Neill, and Raymond Hatton. Note that after the Production Code was instituted, references to prostitution had to be carefully disguised, and Davis' character was described as a "hostess" in a club run by gangsters, but everyone watching the movie knew what she really did for a living! Also note that this was one of the many movies Humphrey Bogart made after his great success of "The Petrified Forest" in 1936. But even though he got second billing in this movie, Warner Bros. did not see him as having strong box office appeal, and they left him off most of the posters, focusing on "bad" Bette Davis!

Important Added Info: UPDATED 11/03/2010: Note that we initially listed this as the 1937 Australian first release but an Australian poster expert pointed out that the printer of this poster only printed daybills in the 1950s. Please do NOT bid thinking this is the 1937 Australian first release. Condition: fair to good. There is staining and discoloration throughout the poster. There are a few tack holes and tears around the edges of the poster that have been repaired with conservation tape from the back. Learn More about condition grades
