An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 18" [36 x 46 cm]) (Learn More) Public Hero Number 1, the 1935 J. Walter Ruben romantic convict prison escape crime thriller ("He thumbed his nose at Hell for a girl who was born to love a conqueror"; "Tough! But scared of a girl's ruby lips!"; "The tougher they come... the harder they fall for a dame!"; about an FBI man on the trail of a wanted criminal, and he gets involved with a young woman, not realizing she is the criminal's sister) starring Lionel Barrymore, Jean Arthur, Chester Morris, Joseph Calleia, Lewis Stone, Paul Kelly, and Sam Baker. Note that Lionel Barrymore was given top billing in this movie, no doubt due to his greater fame than his co-stars, but he actually plays a relatively minor role in the movie as a drunken gang doctor! 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 it looks like the left, right, and bottom borders might have been trimmed, but actually, they were printed with a "full bleed", something MGM was doing at the time, which means there were no white borders when the card was printed (although the top blank area has been neatly trimmed off). Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good to very good. The top 4" of the card was trimmed off. The card has darkened on the back and has some tiny surface paper loss in the lower right corner and a small tear and a crease in the left border. It has a crease in the top right corner, with paper loss in the top right blank corner (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
