An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 16" [36 x 41 cm]) (Learn More) Klondike Annie, the 1936 Raoul Walsh Alaska/California interracial romance romantic gambling crime murder melodrama ("Nome was never like this... Till Mae hit town!"; "From a play by Mae West and a story by Marion Morgan and George B. Dowell"; a really wild story where Mae West is an entertainer in San Francisco's Chinatown, and she is being blackmailed into having an affair by the owner of the club she works at, who is Asian, and she kills him and goes on the run, and meets a missionary who dies, and West takes her place and pretends to be a missionary and goes to Alaska, and she also is romanced by Victor McLaglen, and there is much more to the story!) starring Mae West (in the title role), Victor McLaglen, Philip Reed, Helen Jerome Eddy, Harry Beresford, Harold Huber, and Tetsu Komai. Note that while this was a movie made a couple years after the Production Code was in place, it broke many of its rules, and it is a mystery how it got made. It also has much anti-Asian racism, and that likely accounts for why the movie is little seen in recent years. 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 trimmed and it now measures 14" x 16" [36 x 41 cm]. Note that while this window card is heavily trimmed, it is extremely fortunate that most of what was trimmed off is the blank top and part of McLaglen's credit, with only a tiny bit of the image lost at top and bottom (see our image). Condition: fair. The card was found in the back of a frame where it had been used as a backing board for a picture (many framers in the 1930s would use window cards for this purpose, and they would trim them to the size of the frame, not caring that they were cutting into the image!). In this case, the trimming, which was to 14" x 16", affects the left and bottom of the card, but it is extremely fortunate that most of what was trimmed off is the blank top and part of McLaglen's credit, with only a tiny bit of the image lost at top and bottom (see our image). There are also a few creases and scuffs around the edges of the card. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored (and we can provide the winning bidder with a high quality scan of the bottom missing area, although we can't do anything about the top, although it seems like only a small amount of the image is missing).
