Note that the IMDb got the idea that this movie once had a working title of "Lady Beware", and that could be true, but we suspect it is completely wrong. However, what that resulted in is that a different movie, "Public Menace", DID have a working title of "Lady Beware", and the IMDb has merged some of the information from that movie with the information from this movie! The two movies are not related, except by the possible same working title! Finally, note that it appears that this movie was shown in either the 1930s or the 1940s in small towns as an exploitation movie, with lurid taglines (they are listed above). We don't know if this was a continuous first release of the movie, or if it occurred a few or many years later. If anyone knows whether that is a re-release or part of the first release, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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 low budget sexploitation movies such as this were commonly kept in distribution for several years by distributors who would take them around the country showing them in small towns (sometimes only at late night shows). Although this movie was made in 1934, the date on this jumbo window card dates it to 1936, but it is almost a certainty the movie was in continuous release somewhere during those two years! Condition: good. There is paper loss in the top edge of the poster and much light surface damage across the top blank area. There are creases, smudges, and some tiny tears in the other three borders. There is paper loss in the bottom left corner. There are a few smudges within the image area. Surprisingly, the image area of this poster has survived pretty well, and if this poster were framed with the borders and top area matted out, it would look great just as it is!
