The Roadhouse Murder, the 1932 J. Walter Ruben New York City mistaken identity romantic crime murder mystery thriller ("Extra edition thriller!"; "SURPRISING, THRILLING"; "You wouldn't believe it if it hadn't happened"; produced by David O. Selznick; surely one of the wackiest movies ever made, and that is saying a lot!; a young newspaper reporter is not doing well, and when he and his girlfriend stumble on a murder, the murderers escape, but they leave behind evidence that proves their guilt; instead of getting a great scoop about the murder and turning them in to the police, the reporter decides to frame HIMSELF for the murder, so that he can go on the run and write a series of articles posing as the murderer!; he is then caught, and he still doesn't reveal the evidence that proves he is innocent, planning to save that for a dramatic moment at his trial, but just as he is about to, the evidence, which is in his girlfriend's purse, is snatched from her, so he can no longer prove his innocence, and he must plead guilty and ask for mercy!; of course it has a happy ending, but what a terrible movie!) starring Dorothy Jordan, Eric Linden, Roscoe Ates, Purnell Pratt, and Bruce Cabot

Important Added Info: Note that 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: fair. The card has darkened and has staining throughout. It has two horizontal folds and many creases with tears and paper loss around the edges. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
