An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Tenderloin, the 1928 Michael Curtiz New York City prostitution romantic crime melodrama ("Warner Bros newest sensation"; "Based on the story by Melville Crosman"; about a pretty young dancing girl at a night club in New York City who gets involved with a handsome gangster, but when it looks like she knows about a crime he was involved in, the gang sends him to kill her) starring Dolores Costello, Conrad Nagel, Mitchell Lewis, Dan Wolheim, John Miljan, George E. Stone (billed as "Georgie Stone"), and Pat Hartigan. Note that there is a famous "Tenderloin" district in San Francisco, but that was named after an older "Tenderloin" in New York City. That area was given its name in 1876 by a New York City police captain, because it was filled with prostitutes who sold their flesh similar to cattle! Also note that Tenderloin was the second Vitaphone feature with talking sequences after The Jazz Singer. It was promoted as the first film in which actors actually spoke their roles, but supposedly, the film's stilted dialogue resulted in laughter, and two of the four talking sequences were soon eliminated. Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good.
