An Original Vintage Theatrical Uruguayan Movie Herald (measures 4 1/4" x 6" [11 x 15 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More) Bordertown, the 1935 Archie Mayo (billed as "Archie L. Mayo") romantic love triangle murder crime film noir ("Immortal drama with immortal stars!"; "Now He's a Fugitive from the Inhuman Bondage of a Female Scarface"; about a Hispanic man who goes to work as a bouncer in a cafe in Mexico on the border by California, and he rises up to become the partner of the owner, but the owner's boss likes him in the wrong way, and she wants him to conspire with her and kill the boss so that they can own the casino and be together, but he has different ideas) starring Paul Muni, Bette Davis, Margaret Lindsay, Eugene Pallette, and Robert Barrat. Note that Warner Bros. in 1940 "lifted" a huge chunk of the plot of this movie and reused it as part of "They Drive By Night", and of course, there are also many similarities to the plot of "The Postman Always Rings Twice"! Note that there is something unusual about this movie. When it was first released, Paul Muni was Warner Bros. top star and Bette Davis received secondary billing to him. When she quickly rose to stardom after this movie was released, the movie was given a quick re-release in 1937, where the two stars were now equally billed. This quick re-release likely explains why first release 1935 paper from this movie is incredibly scarce (and also, the 1934 lobby cards and smaller posters were on a flat finish, while the 1937 re-release ones were on a linen-like paper, which is the reverse of how it is for many other classic 1930s Warner Bros. titles).

Important Added Info: Please note that Uruguayan heralds, like Spanish heralds, were printed in large quantities, and then sent to individual theaters in Uruguay, and they would have the backs of them overprinted or stamped with their theater name and specific play dates. But because a movie might play in Uruguay for a period of a year or two (traveling from theater to theater), there is no guarantee that the date overprinted on the back of the herald is the same as the date that the herald was first printed (and the date that the movie first played in Uruguay). We strongly suspect that most movies did not reach Uruguay until a year or two after their first release in other countries, but we can't say for certain. Therefore, we don't list the date overprinted on the back of a herald as the date of the herald (or the date of the movie's first release in Uruguay) unless we know from some other source that the later year was when the movie first played in Uruguay. If it is important to you that the date on the herald is the same date as when the movie first played in its country of origin, then please look at our image of the back of this herald to see if there is a different date printed on it.
