An Original Vintage English Movie Trade Ad (measures 11 1/4" x 17 1/2" [29 x 44 cm]; 1 page) (Learn More) Midnight, the 1934 Chester Erskine crime thriller starring Sidney Fox (she was a very pretty diminutive actress who began playing leading roles in 1931 at the age of 23, and she appeared in just 14 movies before retiring in 1934 when she married a studio executive; but she had an extremely unhappy abusive marriage, and she committed suicide in 1942, another one of those Hollywood tragedies we hear about all too often), O.P. Heggie (best remembered as the blind man who befriends the monster in "The Bride of Frankenstein", and also as the next door cellmate to Robert Donat in "The Count of Monte Cristo"), Henry Hull, Margaret Wycherly, Lynne Overman, Katherine Wilson, Richard Whorf, Humphrey Bogart, Moffat Johnson, and Henry O'Neill. Note that this was one of Bogart's final movies in Hollywood during his first period there, and after this, he gave up on Hollywood and went back to Broadway. The movie was quickly forgotten, but in 1947, some clever distributor dusted off this old movie and gave it a noir title, and advertised it with images of Bogart with a gun, and no doubt tricked people into thinking they were seeing a new Bogart movie!

Important Added Info: Note that this is a great trade ad taken out of an issue of Kinematograph Weekly English trade magazine (we have 23 of them in this set of auctions, all from Humphrey Bogart movies). Studios would run these elaborate ads in issues of this magazine, and they often had images not found on any of the regular movie posters (either English or U.S.). This trade ad was removed from a 1934 issue of this magazine, and it will look incredible displayed on the new owner's wall. The back of this trade ad has text or ads for other movies from that time, and we have not pictured the back because the primary interest to bidders is the great ad we have pictured. Condition: very good. The ad is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
