A city street... paved with riches and poverty, comedy and tragedy, romance and heartaches,... time that ticks its way to eternity, punctuated by birth, life and death... a block that end at the river's edge, where frustration lives, yet hope never dies! You may not like these people, nor pity them, but you'll never forget this picture!"; "Based on the play by Sidney Kingsley"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; written by Lillian Hellman; about New York City slum children interacting with rich people, and there is a major subplot about a famous killer coming home to visit his mother and former girlfriend!) starring Sylvia Sidney ("Drina... the girl who wanted an 'out' but who wouldn't sell her soul!"), Joel McCrea ("Dave... who wanted to rip down the tenements instead of living in them!"), Humphrey Bogart ("Baby Face... whose mother was sorry she brought him into the world!"), Wendy Barrie ("Kay... who found her 'out' and wouldn't go back... even for love"), Marjorie Main (as Bogart's mother who rejects him), The Dead End Kids (Billy Hallop, Huntz Hall, Bobby Jordan, Leo Gorcey, Gabriel Dell, and Bernard Punsly, in their very first movie!; billed as "The Dead End Kids from the original New York stage cast"; "Tommy, Leo, Angel, Dippy and Spit, played by the children who were the sensation of the New York stage play!"), Claire Trevor ("Francey... who took the 'easiest' way... and found it the hardest!"; nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film; as Bogart's ex-girlfriend, now a prostitute), Allen Jenkins ("Hunk...

Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this paper banner! Also note that this banner is a silkscreen printed poster with an actual black and white photo which has neatly been "tipped in" (glued to the left side of the poster). Paper banners were sometimes made in this way at that time, and it makes for a striking poster, and few people would realize that it is not printed on a single piece, unless they examine the poster closely. Note that the silkscreen portions of this poster usually pick up scuff marks far more easily than other posters of this period (this was caused by the method of silkscreen printing, and is very common on these posters, and is not considered a major defect, unless it is very noticeable or distracting).

Also note that this poster is very long, but because it is not very wide, it can be sent in a regular size tube. However, it can NOT be combined with other rolled posters, and must be either sent by itself (or combined with other items that are exactly like this). Please bear this in mind before bidding on this poster.
