Date Sold 2/17/2019Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Thank You, Mr. Moto, the 1937 Norman Foster Asian detective crime mystery thriller ("Based on a story by John P. Marquand"; the second entry in this series of popular movies) starring Peter Lorre (in the title role as Mr. Moto), Thomas Beck, Pauline Frederick, Jayne Regan, Sidney Blackmer, Sig Ruman (billed as "Sig Rumann"), John Carradine, Philip Ahn, Wilhelm von Brincken, and Nedda Harrigan. Note that Fox had had great success with its Chinese detective, Charlie Chan, so it seemed natural for them to start this second series featuring a Japanese detective. It did not start until 1937, perhaps because they did not have an actor suitable for the lead role, but Peter Lorre had substance abuse issues, and he was probably happy to get the work. Fox made seven movies in just three years, but then they stopped the series, likely because of the rise of anti-Japanese sentiment in the U.S., as World War II neared.
