But you're the man they'll get!'"; "The most exciting picture in a decade... Inspired by the biggest front page sensation in recent years"; "Blazing out of the headlines... Crashing across the screen.. The most exciting story in years."; "Based on a story by W.R. Burnett"; "Screen play by Jo Swerling and Robert Riskin") starring Edward G. Robinson ("in the best picture he ever made"; in a dual role, both as a notorious gangster, and as a mild-mannered man who looks just like the gangster and is mistaken for him, and Jean Arthur is delightful!; "In the Best Picture He Ever Made"), Jean Arthur, Arthur Hohl, James Donlan, Wallace Ford, Donald Meek, and Paul Harvey

Important Added Info: The poster has been kraftbacked, which means it was backed onto a brown paper soon after it was printed (this process is called "kraft-backing", and posters with it are called "kraft-backed").

This three-sheet was printed in several sections but it now appears as if it were printed on a single sheet because of the kraftbacking.

Condition: good to very good. There are many nail holes and small areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. There are many creases and small tears along the folds and a few scuffs within the image area. The poster is very restorable! Its defects are
