Auction History Result 6y673 MISSING WITNESSES Other Company insert '37 art of John Litel, Dick Purcell & Jean Dale! Date Sold 4/28/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Other Company Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Missing Witnesses, the 1937 William Clemens crime suspense thriller ("A city's crime ring exposed...A man's heroic crusade against racketeers!") starring John Litel, Dick Purcell, Jean Dale, Marsha Ralston, Raymond Hatton, Sheila Bromley, William Haade, and Ben Welden NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this was printed by the "other company". This was a company in the Midwest that from roughly 1936 to roughly 1941 printed its own one-sheets and lobby card sets (and a very few inserts, half-sheets, three-sheets, 40x60s and stills) for three major studio movies (Warner Brothers, Paramount and United Artists, but no other studios). The posters and lobby cards are from the original release of the movie, and almost always have completely different artwork from the regular studio release. They never have the name of the releasing studio on the poster or any of the lobby cards, but many years later, noted poster dealer/historian Walter Reuben discovered that the name of the company was "Associated Displays Corporation" and that they were based in Manhattan, New York (oddly, no collectors knew the name of this company for decades!). Sometimes, "other company" posters or lobby cards have images that are the equal of those from the regular studio release posters or lobby cards! Also note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 insert posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 insert posters (note that most post-1970 inserts were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those inserts). Condition: good. The poster was never folded. It has stains, tiny surface paper loss, and a few tiny bits of paper loss around the edges, with some creases, scuffs, and faint stains scattered throughout, and some tiny bits of surface paper loss in the bottom center.
