Note that this movie has an extremely similar plot to that of "They Live by Night", the Nicholas Ray classic, except that this movie has a happy ending. "They Live by Night" was released a year later than this movie, but it was made at around the same time, and I don't know why two movies with such similar plots were made at the same time (and whether there was any question of one being sued by the other). This movie seems to be completely forgotten! If anyone knows more about this movie or its similarities to "They Live by Night", 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 the film distributor "Film Classics" primarily distributed re-releases of major studios in the late 1940s and 1950s, but they DID produce a few of their own movies, including this one. This is the first release of this movie, and it NOT a re-release! Also note that this poster has never been machine folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded once horizontally and once vertically right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded example of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970! Condition: very good. There are three tears in the right border and small paper loss in the bottom right blank corner, but otherwise, the poster is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
