You're Not So Tough, the 1940 Joe May New York City juvenile delinquent crime thriller starring The Dead End Kids and The Little Tough Guys (before this, some of the Dead End Kids had split off into a separate group called "The Little Tough Guys", but they joined back together for this movie; including Billy Halop, Huntz Hall, Bobby Jordan, and Gabriel Dell), Nan Grey, Bernard Punsly, Henry Armetta, Rosina Galli

Important Added Info: Note that the last time we auctioned this poster was in 2005!

Note that we were consigned a collection of posters and lobby cards from movies related to the Dead End Kids and the many sequel groups they appeared in, like the Bowery Boys. These were collected by one person in the 1970s, and it would take a lifetime to reassemble this collection, but all of these 160 items (which include many lobby card sets in single auctions) will have new owners when these auctions end!

Condition: good. The poster has patches of light rippling scattered in various areas (see our image). There is separation at the top crossfold and there is a tear in the left half of the center horizontal fold. Those two areas are backed with brown paper tape. There are a few tiny stains near the tape repair in the center horizontal fold. It is otherwise "all there" and after linenbacking with some proper restoration the very rare poster would display well, but bear in mind all of these things before bidding.
