Dead End, the classic 1937 William Wyler New York City poor-people-in-the-slums-living-side-by-side-with-rich-people crime thriller ("Drama that roars fullblooded from the screen"; "As human as life itself... as dramatic as primal passions... there's never been a motion picture life this! A city street... paved with riches and poverty, comedy and tragedy, romance and heartaches,... time that ticks its way to eternity, punctuated by birth, life and death... a block that end at the river's edge, where frustration lives, yet hope never dies! You may not like these people, nor pity them, but you'll never forget this picture!"; "Based on the play by Sidney Kingsley"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; written by Lillian Hellman; about New York City slum children interacting with rich people, and there is a major subplot about a famous killer coming home to visit his mother and former girlfriend!) starring Sylvia Sidney ("Drina... the girl who wanted an 'out' but who wouldn't sell her soul!"), Joel McCrea ("Dave... who wanted to rip down the tenements instead of living in them!"), Humphrey Bogart ("Baby Face... whose mother was sorry she brought him into the world!"), Wendy Barrie ("Kay... who found her 'out' and wouldn't go back... even for love"), Marjorie Main (as Bogart's mother who rejects him), The Dead End Kids (Billy Hallop, Huntz Hall, Bobby Jordan, Leo Gorcey, Gabriel Dell, and Bernard Punsly, in their very first movie!; billed as "The Dead End Kids from the original New York stage cast"; "Tommy, Leo, Angel, Dippy and Spit, played by the children who were the sensation of the New York stage play!"), Claire Trevor ("Francey... who took the 'easiest' way... and found it the hardest!"; nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film; as Bogart's ex-girlfriend, now a prostitute), Allen Jenkins ("Hunk... Baby Face's henchman who met his doom when shadows deepened!"), and Ward Bond (as the doorman!)

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have only auctioned one other example of this poster, and that was 7 years ago, when it sold for $405. Also note that this is a rare "pre-War" Belgian poster. Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!).

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good to fine. The poster had very minor fold and border wear. It once had a tax stamp in the top play dates area, which is no longer present. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
