Racket Busters, the 1938 Lloyd Bacon gangster crime thriller ("Warner Bros.' Timely Bombshell!"; "Original screen play by Robert Rossen and Leonard Bercovici"; Bogart is a gangster who muscles into the trucking business and when he catches a desperate employee stealing to support his pregnant wife, he blackmails the poor guy into joining his crooked enterprise!) starring Humphrey Bogart, George Brent, Gloria Dickson, Allen Jenkins, and Walter Abel. Note that the film's story was inspired by real-life headlines about New York District Attorney Thomas Dewey (future Republican presidential nominee) and his fight against organized crime.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that original posters from this movie are incredibly rare! In all our years of auctioning, we have never had a single first release U.S. poster before (we have only had two lobby cards and some stills)!

Condition: very good. The poster has separation and tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and tiny creases and tiny tears on parts of the vertical foldline (with slight separation on the bottom quarter of the vertical foldline), with almost no wear on the horizontal folds. There are pinholes around the edges of the poster. Someone put a piece of tape on the back of the center of the bottom border, and it slightly bleeds through to the front in the blank area.
