An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style A One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Car 99, the 1935 Charles Barton Michigan police crime action romantic melodrama ("These Men... LIVE, on A Diet of Thrills! LOVE, From Day to Day! DIE, because It's Their Job!"; about a young man whose girlfriend convinces him to join the Michigan State Police, and he does well at first, but then, when a wanted criminal slips through his fingers, he is suspended) starring Fred MacMurray, Sir Guy Standing, Ann Sheridan (in her first semi-leading role, and the first time she was billed as "Ann Sheridan", after having been billed as "Clara Lou Sheridan"!), William Frawley, Marina Schubert, Frank Craven, Douglas Blackley, John Cox, Dean Jagger, and Nora Cecil 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 this poster is extremely rare. We have not only never auctioned it before, but we have never auctioned ANY first release poster or lobby card from it! Note that this one-sheet is one of the 28 folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction that were not consigned to us by Dominique Besson. It was consigned to us by another collector, but that in no way diminishes this poster, and it fits well with the Besson collection. What is the Dominique Besson collection? He started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that while Mr. Besson collected a few 1930s posters, he included them in other categories, so this one-sheet is being auctioned in a category that we have labeled "1930s" (there are only five of those). Condition: very good. The poster has creases to the left and right of the vertical fold between the top and bottom crossfolds, surely caused when it was machine folded. There is the tiniest of paper loss at the top crossfold. There is 1" of separation at the top of the vertical fold. There is darkening on the left edge of the left blank border and on the bottom edge of the bottom blank border. There is a tiny hole in the left blank border and a small piece of paper tape on the back of the top left corner. There are a few tiny tears in the borders. Other than the above truly minor defects, the poster is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
