An Original Vintage Theatrical Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Hell's Kitchen, the 1939 E.A. Dupont (Ewald Andre Dupont) & Lewis Seiler New York City teenage delinquent reform school melodrama ("We're fightin' the whole world... And we're tryin' to fight clean!"; "Crowded with action!"; "They are fighting the battle a thousand forgotten killers fought... and lost! ...It's a fight to go straight... to overcome the evil every gutter kid must face! Can they do it? You'll find out... in the most exciting picture the 'Dead End' Kids have ever made!"; "From an original story by Crane Wilbur") starring The Dead End Kids (including Billy Halop, Bobby Jordan, Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall, and Gabriel Dell), Margaret Lindsay, Ronald Reagan, Stanley Fields, and Grant Mitchell. Note that this movie was basically a remake of the 1933 Warner Bros. movie "The Mayor of Hell", starring James Cagney. Warner Bros. must have REALLY loved this plot, because they used it in 1938's "Crime School", with the Dead End Kids and Humphrey Bogart, and then they reused it in this movie, the very next year! 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 we have never before auctioned this first release insert! Condition: good to very good. The card had darkened, typical of Warner Bros. linen inserts of this period. It had extra horizontal folds above and below the regular top and bottom folds, at a slight diagonal. It had some creases and scuffs along the folds, with pinholes around the edges and paper loss in the right corners. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the poster (meaning they backed the poster onto a gel material) and they then performed excellent restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, so that the poster still exactly looks and feels like an original poster (and it is!), with no backing at all. You can see slight signs of the restoration, but the poster displays really well! Learn More about condition grades
