A 1956 Re-Release Folded Set of 4 Movie Lobby Cards (LC 1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Black Legion, the 1936 Archie Mayo Ku Klux Klan-like lawyer legal crime thriller (Warner Bros. would not attack the Klan directly by having the group in the movie be actual Ku Klux Klan members, but everybody watching the movie knew what was intended; what is most interesting about the movie is that Bogart plays a pretty nice factory worker who loses his job to an immigrant, and he is convinced to join the Klan, and afterwards, he essentially turns into a really monstrous guy!) starring Humphrey Bogart, Dick Foran, Erin O'Brien-Moore, Ann Sheridan, Robert Barrat, Joe Sawyer (billed as "Joseph Sawyer"), Addison Richards, Eddie Acuff, Paul Harvey, Dickie Jones, and Helen Flint. Note that the Breen office had many problems with the script for this movie (written by Robert Lord, who was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay), specifically because of the racial and religious prejudice addressed in the movie. It seems that Warner Bros. was unsure of how to best promote this movie. The few original posters we have seen have a very small image of Humphrey Bogart, and he is not billed on the lobby cards! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card poster measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]. Also note that this item is an "lobby card poster" which is a set of lobby cards printed in a single sheet as a "poster". Theater owners would be able to cut out the cards to arrange however they wanted, but this set has not been "cut" and is considered a full poster. PLEASE DO NOT BID THINKING THIS IS A REGULAR LOBBY CARD SET AS IT IS A "LOBBY CARD POSTER"! Finally, note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
