An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Torchy Blane in Chinatown, the 1939 William Beaudine female mystery reporter crime thriller (based on characters created by Frederick Nebel; Original story "The Purple Hieroglyph", one of a series featuring the same main character, by Murray Leinster) starring Glenda Farrell (in the title role as Torchy Blane), Barton MacLane, Henry O'Neill, Patric Knowles, and Tom Kennedy. Note that the first Torchy Blane movie was made in 1937, called "Smart Blonde", and it starred Glenda Farrell in the lead role. There were a total of nine Torchy Blane movies. Farrell played the lead in seven of them. In two of the ones near the end of the series, Jane Wyman and Lola Lane filled in for Farrell, perhaps because she had other commitments. The series only lasted for two years, but was quite popular. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
