An Original Vintage English Trade Ad (measures 11 1/4" x 17 1/4" [29 x 44 cm]; 1 page) (Learn More) the 1941 English trade ad advertising They Drive By Night (released in England as "The Road to Frisco"), the 1940 Raoul Walsh romantic action melodrama ("No picture in 1940 will have bigger thrills!"; "From a Novel by A.I. Bezzerides"; about truckers and their love lives; it stole part of its plot from "Bordertown"!) starring George Raft, Ann Sheridan, Ida Lupino, Humphrey Bogart, Alan Hale Sr., Gale Page, Roscoe Karns, John Litel, Charles Halton, Charles C. Wilson, George Tobias, and Henry O'Neill. Note that movies rarely have top stars in all four lead roles (other than MGM movies of the 1930s and early 1940s, because they had so many such stars that they could afford to do this), but this movie is kind of a rare exception. We say "kind of" because Humphrey Bogart and Ida Lupino were not yet top stars when they made this movie, but the very next movie they made was "High Sierra", which did help elevate both of them to greater stardom! AND Flowing Gold, the 1940 Alfred E. Green romantic oil drilling adventure melodrama ("Even more thrilling than the cry of "OIL!"... The lives of the men who battle for it!"; "This is the story of the gallant, reckless, foolish 'oil bums'... through whose hands millions flow, in whose hearts adventure beats!"; "Original screen play by Kenneth Gamet"; based on the novel "by Rex Beach") starring John Garfield, Frances Farmer, Pat O'Brien, Raymond Walburn, and Cliff Edwards NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a great trade ad taken out of an issue of Kinematograph Weekly English trade magazine (we have 21 of them in this set of auctions, all from Humphrey Bogart movies). Studios would run these elaborate ads in issues of this magazine, and they often had images not found on any of the regular movie posters (either English or U.S.). This trade ad was removed from an issue of this magazine (see above for the exact date), and it will look incredible displayed on the new owner's wall. The back of this trade ad has text or ads for other movies from that time, and we have not pictured the back because the primary interest to bidders is the great ad we have pictured. Condition: very good. The ad was removed from a magazine (see above). It was the centerfold of the magazine so the pages are on a single sheet. Learn More about condition grades
