An Original Vintage English Movie Trade Ad (measures 11 1/4" x 17 1/4" [29 x 44 cm]; 1 page) (Learn More) The Wagons Roll At Night, the 1941 Ray Enright romantic love triangle circus lion tamer melodrama ("For the millions who cheered 'They Drive by Night'!"; "A thousand thrills are yours when... The Wagons Roll At Night"; "Anything can happen at night! Reckless men and women... a city on wheels... and a new adventure beyond the headlights on every turn of the road!"; "Suggested by a story by Francis Wallace"; not one of Bogart's best; he is a circus lion tamer who gets involved romantically with a pretty girl, and another lion tamer loves her too, which sets the scene of men being mauled by lions!) starring Humphrey Bogart, Sylvia Sidney, Joan Leslie, Eddie Albert, Sig Ruman, Cliff Clark, and Jack Mower. Note that this movie is a remake of "Kid Galahad" with the setting changed from boxing to a traveling circus, and Humphrey Bogart appeared in both movies (albeit, in drastically different roles)! Also note that star Sylvia Sidney had been a major leading lady in the early to mid 1930s, but she had "retired" from movies for two years before returning to make this movie. Apparently, movie paper was originally printed giving Miss Sidney fourth billing, and it seems she strongly objected to that, because a studio-issued snipe was created that changed her billing to second (we have seen a one-sheet and a title card with this corrective snipe glued on them)!

Important Added Info: Note that this is a great trade ad taken out of an issue of Kinematograph Weekly English trade magazine (we have 23 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 a 1941 issue of this magazine, 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 is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
