An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Meet Boston Blackie "(of 'Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford' fame)", the 1941 Robert Florey Massachusetts New York City spy detective mystery crime thriller ("Mystery over Coney Island!"; "Spies in a freak show!"; "Murder in the 'Tunnel of Love'!"; "Story and Screen Play by Jay Dratler") starring Chester Morris (in the title role as Boston Blackie), Rochelle Hudson, Richard Lane, Charles Wagenheim, Constance Worth, Thelma Joel (as the Bat Woman!), and Schlitze (best known for his role in Freaks; as Princess Betsy/Bird Woman; when Schlitze was in Barnum's freak show, he wore a dress-like garment and was called a woman, and that continued in this movie). Note that this is one of fourteen movies made in the 1940s with Chester Morris playing the fictional character "Boston Blackie", a former crook turned detective (there had been ten silent movies made in the 1920s), all of which were based on short stories by Jack Boyle. Note that this was the first of the series, and Columbia did not expect big things from it, so they only created a two-color one-sheet on its first release! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some creases, scuffs, and a few tiny tears on parts of some foldlines. There were some smudges scattered in the solid background areas and some small tears in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
