Leeds New York City romantic crime murder thriller ("Original story by Jerome Cady"; "You'll gasp between laughs!"; about a woman who is engaged to a dsitrict attorney, and after he is falsely convicted of murder, she, with the help of a former gangster, helps save his life) starring Gloria Stuart, Michael Whalen, Paul Kelly, Robert Kellard, June Storey, Paul Hurst, and Leon Ames.

It is quite likely that there is no way to reverse this process. However, I have seen many posters and lobby cards that have been laminated for over 20 years, and the lamination does not hurt the items in any way (and some of the posters were laminated as much as 40 years ago, so it certainly seems that if it were going to damage the item, it would have happened by now!), plus it seems to completely protect them, while allowing them to be easily displayed with no fear of damage. HOWEVER, PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS POSTER UNLESS YOU WANT TO PURCHASE A LAMINATED ITEM! Condition: fair. The poster has been laminated (see above). It was never folded. It had a 9" horizontal tear with tiny surface paper loss in the lower part of the image and it had smudges, stains, staples, and one area of small paper loss around the edges. Someone had it laminated without performing any restoration. In addition, they put a thin plastic film over the entire front and back (I imagine that was designed to protect the lamination from scratching or scuffing, and it seems removable). After it was laminated, it was roughly handled, and there is now a partial crease near the center. Learn More about condition grades
