Original Vintage Theatrical Title Lobby Card (Measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Marked Woman, the 1937 Lloyd Bacon & Michael Curtiz bad girl prostitution crime murder thriller ("A Star Teaming You'll Never Forget!!!"; "The Kind Ladies Don't Talk To!"; "Meet the girls who got caught in a racket!"; "You work the way I tell you, or else!"; about a "party girl", whose sister is murdered, and a crusading DA convinces her to testify against the gangsters who killed her sister) starring Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart, Lola Lane, Isabel Jewell, Eduardo Ciannelli, Jane Bryan, Rosalind Marquis, Mayo Methot (who was married Bogart in real life the year after this movie, and they stayed married until he left her for Lauren Bacall), Allen Jenkins, John Litel, Ben Welden, Henry O'Neill, and Raymond Hatton. Note that after the Production Code was instituted, references to prostitution had to be carefully disguised, and Davis' character was described as a "hostess" in a club run by gangsters, but everyone watching the movie knew what she really did for a living! Also note that this was one of the many movies Humphrey Bogart made after his great success of "The Petrified Forest" in 1936. But even though he got second billing in this movie, Warner Bros. did not see him as having strong box office appeal, and they left him off most of the posters, focusing on "bad" Bette Davis!

Sadly, this design was not used on any of the other posters for this film (except for a look-a-like half-sheet, which to my knowledge is not known to exist). The one-sheet has a completely different (and far less interesting) design. There is no other way to own this image except through owning this title card! Condition: fine. This card has had restoration performed and appears to be in fine condition. Most of the restoration can only be seen by looking at the back of the card where the restorer made no attempt to hide what he did. It appears the card had small pieces off of Learn More about condition grades
