(released in other English-speaking countries as "Hallelujah, I'm a Tramp!"), the 1933 Lewis Milestone New York City Depression era hobo musical comedy ("The story that's new because it's different!"; "The first woman he had ever known drifted into his life--and out again. Tears? You'll shed a few! [So did he!] Laughs? Try and control 'em. But it's the story that will get you as it moves in rhythm with your heart."; "His home was the park!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this movie was released by United Artists in 1933. In the 1920s and 1930s, United Artists did not have a large distribution system, so they only handled the first release of their movies, and then immediately sold the rights to re-issue companies. Consequently, original United Artists release posters from their 1920s and 1930s movies are far more rare than those of other studios of the same time period. In the case of this movie, the movie was re-titled "Heart of New York" for its re-releases, and original release material with the original title is extremely scarce! 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: very good to fine. The entire card has darkened somewhat. The card was once in a frame and it was held in place with nails that went into the side of the frame, and there are indentions from the nails all around the back of the poster, but they do not affect the front. There is slight darkening in the extreme outer edges of the card and tiny nicks in the bottom blank border. The card has never had any sort of restoration or tape repair.
