Berke detective crime mystery action thriller ("Now on the screen!"; "He's in the movies now!"; "See him on the screen!"; "Based on the cartoon strip 'Dick Tracy' by Chester Gould") starring Morgan Conway (in the title role as Dick Tracy), Anne Jeffreys, Mike Mazurki (as "Splitface"), Jane Greer, Lyle Latell, and Mickey Kuhn. Note that this was the very first Dick Tracy movie! It is surprising that it took six years for it to reach the screen in 1947's "Dick Tracy", but once it did, it proved very popular and was followed by three more serials over the next four years, and then after a four year break, the first Dick Tracy feature film was released, which again proved extremely popular, and there were three sequels to that. There were animated cartoons on TV in the 1950s and in 1990, Warren Beatty made a live action movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Gosta Aberg Important Added Info: Note that we auctioned this very same poster in 2005, and now it has been re-consigned to us 13 years later. Apparently, "Dick Tracy" did not translate well to other countries, because this remains the only non-U.S. poster we have ever auctioned from this movie! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was tri-folded only and it had minor wear on the folds. It had faint staining in the lower part of the gag on the girl at bottom left and minor border wear. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
