Auction History Result 4p011 INVISIBLE STRIPES Swedish 1940 completely different art of George Raft, Bryan, Bogart, rare! Date Sold 3/12/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1940 (from the first release of this movie in Sweden) Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Swedish Movie Poster (measures 27 1/2" x 39 1/2" [70 x 100 cm]) (Learn More) Invisible Stripes, the 1939 Lloyd Bacon crime prison ex-convict family relationship romantic melodrama ("Three men and a girl ...bound by invisible ties - branded by Invisible Stripes"; "From an Original Story by Jonathan Finn"; "Based on the Book by Warden Lewis E. Lawes"; about an ex-convict who gets out of jail and wants to go straight, but his former buddies try to drag him back into a life of crime) starring George Raft ("Tougher than in 'Each Dawn I Die'"; "The crook who wanted to go straight - but couldn't!"), Jane Bryan ("Greater than in 'We Are Not Alone'"; "The girl who promised to wait - but didn't!"), William Holden ("More amazing than in 'Golden Boy'"; "The kid who tried to be dishonest - but couldn't!"), Humphrey Bogart ("He thought he was smart enough - but wasn't!"), Flora Robson ("She tried to guide her sons - but couldn't!"), Paul Kelly, Henry O'Neill, Lee Patrick, Frankie Thomas, and Leo Gorcey. Note that George Raft naturally got top billing (he was coming off of "Each Dawn I Die" with James Cagney) and Jane Bryan got second billing (she was also in "Each Dawn I Die" and had made an impression in "We Are Not Alone"). William Holden got third billing (he had just made a sensational debut in "Golden Boy"). Poor Humphrey Bogart was given a distant fourth billing (in spite of his sensational performance in "The Petrified Forest"), far smaller than that of his three co-stars, and equal to that of fifth billed Flora Robson! It would take a couple more years before Bogart moved to the first rank of Warner stars! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster! We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has a 3" tear at upper right that has been repaired with clear tape from the back and there is a much smaller blank border tear to its left that is also repaired with tape from the back. It has a few creases, tiny tears and areas of paper loss along portions of the blank borders only. Otherwise the rare unfolded poster is in very nice condition and will certainly display quite well as is! Learn More about condition grades
