An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Defense Rests, the 1934 Lambert Hillyer romantic courtroom lawyer legal organized crime murder melodrama ("He double-crossed justice until love double-crossed him!"; "He defended the criminals who ruled his life!"; "Story and Screen Play by Jo Swerling"; a clever story of a lawyer who defends gangsters; his assistant is a pretty woman who is also a lawyer, and she begs him to quit working for crooks; he even has a woman knowingly commit perjury, and his assistant tells him he could get disbarred for doing that, and he laughs at her and tells her to turn him in; but when he is blackmailed by gangsters over a different case, he realizes he needs to change his ways, but he fears he will be disbarred over the case involving his assistant, but she comes up with the perfect solution, which is for them to get married, so that she can't, as his wife, testify against her husband!) starring Jack Holt, Jean Arthur, Nat Pendleton, Arthur Hohl, and Raymond Walburn. Note that this movie certainly seems to have been way ahead of its time, not only because Jean Arthur is a female lawyer, which was surely a rarity in 1934, but also because she is given a substantial role in the movie!

Important Added Info: 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. There is a vertical smudge/scuff mark in the center of the card, beginning in Holt's forehead and running down through his arm. It picks up below in the top of the "A" of "ARTHUR" and continues to the bottom border. Other than this defect, the card has pretty minor border wear and is in pretty nice condition, and surely any talented restorer could repair the above defects without backing the card.
