An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style A One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Hawk's Nest, the 1928 Benjamin Christensen Chicago Illinois silent romantic crime melodrama ("Story by Wid Gunning"; a wild story of a Chinatown restaurant owner who, after one of his employees is murdered, has plastic surgery so that he looks exactly like a notorious gangster, so that he can bring the murderer to justice; this seems like really extreme measures to me, but what do I know?) starring Milton Sills (in the title role as The Hawk), Doris Kenyon, Sojin, Montagu Love, Mitchell Lewis. Note that this movie was written by Wid Gunning, who had between 1921 and 1925 released four Charles Dickens adaptations in Denmark for release in Scandinavian countries. He lost much of his fortune on those four movies, and turned to screenwriting. If the unusual first name "Wid" seems familiar, it is because Mr. Gunning started the most famous trade magazine in early Hollywood, "Wid's Daily"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
