An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Welcome Danger, the 1929 Clyde Bruckman & Malcolm St. Clair San Francisco California police drug dealers romantic crime comedy (about the shy son of a police chief who must take over his father's job, and he has to go after a gang of drug dealers, and it turns out that the gang is run by a respected businessman, but Lloyd breaks up the gang and falls in love with a girl who has been disguised as a boy) starring Harold Lloyd (in his first speaking role), Barbara Kent, Noah Young, Charles Middleton, Will Walling, Grady Sutton, and Rae Daggett 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 has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Condition: very good. The poster had some tiny dot areas of surface paper loss scattered in the top 3" of the "HAROLD LLOYD" credit, and a much lesser amount scattered in the rest of the image. A talented restorer paperbacked the card and performed slight touch up to the minor surface paper loss. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was well backed by a talented restorer, who did "minimal" restoration (and I agree with that decision, because to do so would have required lots of paint, which would have given the poster a "heavily restored" look, and I don't feel the smudges and scuffs are all that distracting, and they help establish that this is a genuine 80 year-old original poster!). Obviously, one would prefer to find an example of this window card that had no defects or restoration, but I do not know if another example of this card exists (or if it does, if the owner would consider parting with it!). This card has had expert restoration and displays nicely. Learn More about condition grades
