An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (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!) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good to very good. card has darkened slightly (typical of Warner Bros. linen cards of this period), but the card is not at all fragile; the card had many pinholes, creases, and small tears around the edges, and creases in the top right corner that extend into the "es" of "Faces"; there were a few pinholes scattered around the edges of the image and a pair of pinholes in the background between Cagney and O'Brien; there was damage to O'Brien's collar. Some person did restoration to this card in a "minimalist" way. They put a total of eleven small pieces of white conservation tape around the edges of the back of the card, and over the back of the damage to O'Brien's collar. They then did slight touch up to the front borders and did a very nice job touching up O'Brien's collar. Overall, this card has not had much actual restoration, and none to the heads of the stars. Most of the visible defects are in the borders, and the card would display great, just as it is! Learn More about condition grades
