Gentlemen of the Press, the 1929 Millard Webb biographical journalism newspaper reporter melodrama ("A Paramount All Talking Picture"; based on a play by Ward Morehouse; about a successful newspaper reporter whose success causes him to have no private life; the movie shows him missing the birth of his daughter because he is away on his job, and later he misses her wedding and is not there when she dies giving birth to a baby; at the end of the movie he has realized how much he sacrificed for success in his job, and he advises a prospective reporter to not pursue being a newspaper man, because it is not worth the sacrifice one must make) starring Walter Huston (in his third movie role!), Kay Francis, Charles Ruggles, Betty Lawford, and Norman Foster

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
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: good to very good. There are some nail holes around the edges of the card and one in the upper center (at the bottom of the "T" of "TALKING"). There are a few faint smudges and scuffs scattered in the card. Other than the above, the card is in pretty nice condition. It can certainly be displayed and enjoyed just as it is, or it would not require a lot of restoration to made to look even nicer!
