An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Pickup on South Street, the classic 1953 Samuel Fuller Red Menace government agent crime film noir ("How the F.B.I. took a chance on a B-girl... and won!"; "From a story by Dwight Taylor"; "Screen play by Samuel Fuller"; "Adapted from the play by Dwight Taylor"; about a beautiful "B-girl" who does not realize that she is carrying microfilm for Communists which will be sent to Moscow, and a pickpocket picks her pocket, and both the FBI and the Communists will do anything to get the microfilm back, and the pickpocket and the B-girl become romantically involved) starring Richard Widmark, Jean Peters, Thelma Ritter (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Murvyn Vye, Richard Kiley, Willis B. Bouchey, and Milburn Stone. Note that originally Betty Grable was going to play the lead female role, and Marilyn Monroe read for the part as well, but ultimately, Jean Peters got the part. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that there is a corrective snipe across the top tagline of this title card. The tagline originally read, "How the F.B.I. took a chance on a B-girl... And won!", but the snipe reads, "How the law took a chance on a B-girl... And won!"! Apparently, someone from the F.B.I. objected to them being presented in this light (and the movie may well have taken liberties with the truth), and they likely demanded that the tagline be changed. This certainly is not a defect, as it was added by the studio, and in my opinion, it adds to the card! Condition: very good. There is a snipe glued over the entire tagline at the top of the card . There was a small tear in the center of the right blank border that was repaired with masking tape from the reverse. There is another piece of masking tape on the back of the center of the left border, as well as a few faint smudges and creases in the borders. Learn More about condition grades
