Now I'm broke you want to be free!'"; "Adapted from the novel by Alice Duer Miller"; about several women trying to decide between "marrying rich" or marrying for love, and the lead lady of course chooses true love at the end of the movie!) starring Betty Compson, Robert Ellis, Mahlon Hamilton, Leatrice Joy, John Gilbert, and Hardee Kirkland. Note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. 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 only auctioned one in all our years of auctioning and that was in 2001 (and we have only auctioned that different half-sheet poster and no other movie paper for this title ever)! Note also that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: fair to good. There is some light staining scattered throughout the poster. There is paper loss at upper right that affects the solid border. There is playdate information in the top and bottom blank areas. This is the kind of poster that responds really well to restoration! It is likely that many or most of the stains can be removed chemically, and after proper restoration the poster will look fantastic, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
