Alias Jimmy Valentine, the 1928 Jack Conway crime thriller ("A great talking picture!";"From the play by Paul Armstrong"; based on a story by O. Henry; about a reformed safe cracker who has obtained a job at a bank, and a romance with the bank owner's daughter, but then a detective discovers his past, and might ruin him, but then a little girl is locked in the bank vault, and the hero rescues the girl, even though it will likely cause him to go to prison, but the detective recognizes his good deed, and lets him off) starring William Haines (in the title role as Jimmy Valentine), Lionel Barrymore, Leila Hyams, Karl Dane, and Tully Marshall. Note that this was MGM's first "talking" movie, and they billed it as "A great talking picture!", but actually, the picture is 90% silent, with just a few inserted talking sequences!. Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving complete copies are thought to exist.

Important Added Info: 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: fair. There are stains and areas of paper loss around the edges of the card and it is fragile.
