He's alarming!"; in the title role as Dr. Clitterhouse), Claire Trevor ("His leading lady from radio's hit show: Big Town"), Humphrey Bogart ("The screen's leading menace... as his deadly rival!"), Allen Jenkins ("Funnier than ever... as N.Y.'s most nervous gangster!"), Donald Crisp, Gale Page, Ward Bond, Max 'Slapsie Maxie' Rosenbloom, and Ronald Reagan (as a radio announcer!)

Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this 1938 first release half-sheet! Note that this poster could conceivably be rolled in a tube, but because it is old and somewhat fragile, we intend to send it in a large flat package, and will only send it rolled if the new owner accepts responsibility if it is damaged from being rolled. Please bear this in mind before placing your bid on this rare poster. Condition: good to very good. The poster has darkened somewhat (typical of Warner Brothers posters printed on a "linen" paper during this time period.) It has many pinholes along portions of the upper edge and a few in Robinson's hair, chin and torso, and there are a few along portions of the lower edge. It has tears at lower right, center left and upper center, and those have been repaired with restoration tape from the back and they only affect the blank borders. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and after a pretty simple paperbacking it would display quite nicely. Learn More about condition grades
