An Undated (probably 1940s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Argentinean Movie Poster (measures 20 1/4" x 43 3/4" [51 x 111 cm]) (Learn More) Angels with Dirty Faces, the classic 1938 Michael Curtiz (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) romantic crime murder thriller melodrama (in this movie, quintessential tough guy Cagney is a hero to the Dead End Kids, and at the end his childhood pal, now a priest, asks him to be a coward as he is led to the electric chair to help keep those kids from following in his footsteps; "A story... mighty with the clash of men! A picture... unforgettable in its greatness!"; "Sensational in it's dramatic impact!"; "From a Story by Rowland Brown") starring James Cagney (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; as Rocky Sullivan), Pat O'Brien (as Father Jerry Connolly), The Dead End Kids (Leo Gorcey [as Bim], Billy Halop [as Soapy], Huntz Hall [as Crab], Bobby Jordan, Gabriel Dell, Bernard Punsly), Humphrey Bogart (as James Frazier), Ann Sheridan (as Laury Ferguson), George Bancroft, and Frankie Burke (as the young Rocky; he was an unknown 17 year-old newsboy when he was discovered to play the young James Cagney, because he had an uncanny resemblance to young James Cagney!)

Important Added Info: Note that we previously sold another example of this Argentinean poster that we (at that time, six years ago) thought was from the first release of the movie in Argentina, because it had an image extremely similar to that of the U.S. three-sheet. However, on that poster, Humphrey Bogart was second billed, but in 2012, we were consigned a different poster, which we have never seen before, where Humphrey Bogart was fourth billed (below the Dead End Kids!), so we now know that the poster with Bogart's lower billing surely predates this one, and that the other poster is from the very first Argentinean release in 1939, and that this poster (the one we are currently auctioning) is from an early 1940s re-release (given how big a star Bogart became just three years after the release of this movie, it seems reasonable it would have had a very quick re-release).

The poster had tiny paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds and minor fold and border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was backed onto a thin linen, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
