Auction History Result 4j920 THEY DRIVE BY NIGHT 1sh R48 Humphrey Bogart, George Raft, Ann Sheridan, Ida Lupino Date Sold 3/26/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1948 Re-release Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) They Drive By Night (released in England as "The Road to Frisco"), the 1940 Raoul Walsh trucker romantic love triangle action melodrama ("No picture in 1940 will have bigger thrills!"; "From a Novel by A.I. Bezzerides"; about truckers and their love lives; it stole part of its plot from "Bordertown"!) starring George Raft, Ann Sheridan, Ida Lupino, Humphrey Bogart, Alan Hale Sr., Gale Page, Roscoe Karns, John Litel, Charles Halton, Charles C. Wilson, George Tobias, and Henry O'Neill. Note that movies rarely have top stars in all four lead roles (other than MGM movies of the 1930s and early 1940s, because they had so many such stars that they could afford to do this), but this movie is kind of a rare exception. We say "kind of" because Humphrey Bogart and Ida Lupino were not yet top stars when they made this movie, but the very next movie they made was "High Sierra", which did help elevate both of them to greater stardom! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: fair to good. There is a thin area of paper loss in the center of Raft's hair. Someone put a piece of paper tape on the back of the poster and then crudely colored it from the front in an attempt at amateur restoration. There are some creases throughout the poster.
