An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) The Thirteenth Man, the 1937 William Nigh crime mystery thriller ("Inside story of the crusade against crime!"; about a District Attorney who is on a crusade against the town's criminals, and he has locked up twelve of them and is about to arrest a thirteenth, and he is murdered, and the town's citizens decide to find his murderer, to repay his good deeds toward the town) starring Weldon Heyburn, Inez Courtney, Selmer Jackson, Matty Fain, Milburn Stone, Robert Homans, and Dewey Robinson. Note that this movie has an unusual important footnote! Monogram Pictures had been one of the leading Poverty Row studios of the early 1930s, but in 1935, two of its owners formed Republic Pictures, and the studio was closed. In 1937, one of the original owners reopened it, and this movie was its very first after it reopened (it would release 20 movies that year alone). It continued until 1952, when it changed its name to Allied Artists, hoping to drop the low budget label that Monogram always had! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had separation and fine surface paper loss on the foldlines and it had several extra horizontal folds and horizontal scuffs scattered throughout. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was backed onto linen, and it was roughly handled, and the poster is now creased at the top and bottom folds (both in the poster and the linen), which has caused the poster to separate and partially "lift" on those folds. Please bear this in mind before placing a bid on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
