An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) For the Defense, the 1930 John Cromwell romantic courtroom lawyer legal jury tampering melodrama (about New York's most prominent criminal attorney, who represents the biggest gangsters, and his sexy girlfriend, Kay Francis, is put on trial for manslaughter, and he can't get her off any other way, so he bribes a juror, but then he is arrested himself for jury tampering) starring William Powell ("You've seen him as a Detective - an Escaped Convict - a Gambler - Now see William Powell as the Attorney"), Kay Francis, Scott Kolk, John Elliot, and William B. Davidson. Note that Powell's character was based on a notorious New York attorney, William J. Fallon, known as "The Great Mouthpiece", and the events of the movie strongly parallel those of Fallon's life (and there were other movies that used the life of this colorful lawyer).

Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the card had its blank top trimmed off and there were pinholes, tears, and some tiny areas of paper loss around the edges of the card, but very few defects within the image area. Overall, the card was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The restorer used a blank top from a different card to recreate the missing top area and backed the card onto a heavy paper backing. You can see signs of the restoration in the blank areas, but of course, they will not show when this great card is framed. Learn More about condition grades
