An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Jumbo Movie Window Card (WC; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (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!

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this jumbo window card! Also note that this jumbo window card is printed on a heavy paper stock, similar to that of regular window cards of this period. It could not possibly be rolled, and it must be sent in a large flat package that measures approximately 24" x 30", so bear this added expense in mind before bidding on this poster.

Condition: good to very good. The poster had stains in the middle of Davis' credit and a 6" vertical tear to the left of the title. It had a horizontal tear in the bottom border below the "MAR" of "MARKED". It had pinholes around the edges. The rest of the poster had some faint smudges and stains. Many years ago, someone lightly bleached the poster and performed restoration to the defects in Davis' credit and in the bottom left corner, and in the bottom corners, without backing the poster. They left alone the pinholes in the top and some smudges and stains around the edges. The poster can be displayed as it is, or certainly, one might choose to have additional restoration performed, either with or without backing the card.
