Auction History Result 7y0328 WHARF ANGEL WC 1934 art of sexy Dorothy Dell between Victor McLaglen & Preston Foster, rare! Date Sold 3/16/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 18" [36 x 46 cm]) (Learn More) Wharf Angel, the 1934 William Cameron Menzies & George Somnes Barbary Coast San Francisco romantic love triangle adventure thriller (about the toughest saloon in the famous Barbary Coast, which is run by an older woman, and her tough bouncer, and there is a pretty girl who works there that the bouncer is in love with, and then a man who was falsely accused of murder shows up at the saloon, and they hide him, and he is given a job there, and he falls in love with the pretty girl, and he becomes best friends with the bouncer, and neither of them know they are in love with the same woman, and when the bouncer finds out, he turns in the man for a reward!) starring Victor McLaglen, Dorothy Dell, Preston Foster, Alison Skipworth, and David Landau. Note that this screenplay borrowed part of the plot of Liam Flaherty's novel, "The Informer", and a year later, when RKO made the movie version of that novel, they hired Victor McLaglen to play the informer in that movie, just as he had in this one, and Preston Foster was hired for it as well, but of course, that novel predated this movie by over a decade, so even though it looked like the movie of The Informer borrowed from this movie, it is the other way around! 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 ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned two lobby cards and a still from this movie (and NO other movie paper) until we received this window card! Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 18" [36 x 46 cm]. Condition: fair. Someone glued something made of paper to the front of this card and later removed the paper, leaving glue and paper residue over the woman's chest and also in three places in the top red background area. We don't know if a restorer could remove the paper residue and glue, and there is a good chance it would have to be painted over, so bear in mind this significant defect before bidding on this extremely rare card.
