Where life is cheap... Moto meets his strangest crime adventure!"; "From a novel by John W. Vandercook"; "Based upon the character 'Mr. Moto' created by J.P. Marquand"; "Based upon story ideas by John Reinhardt and George Bricker"; the seventh entry in this series of popular movies, in this one Mr. Moto goes to Puerto Rico) starring Peter Lorre (in the title role as Mr. Moto), Jean Hersholt, Amanda Duff, Warren Hymer, Richard Lane, Leon Ames, Douglass Dumbrille, Charles D. Brown, Robert Lowery, Ward Bond, and Harry Strang. Note that Fox had had great success with its Chinese detective, Charlie Chan, so it seemed natural for them to start this second series featuring a Japanese detective. It did not start until 1937, perhaps because they did not have an actor suitable for the lead role, but Peter Lorre had substance abuse issues, and he was probably happy to get the work. Fox made seven movies in just three years, but then they stopped the series, likely because of the rise of anti-Japanese sentiment in the U.S., as World War II neared.

Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: good to very good. Part of the right and bottom blank borders were neatly trimmed off. The left blank border was folded back at one time and it had some tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss. Someone put tape on the back of that border and performed restoration to the front. The rest of the card is in pretty nice condition. There is a piece of tape on the back of the center of the top border, but it was not put there for any restoration purpose. Learn More about condition grades
