An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Ellery Queen and the Perfect Crime, the 1941 James P. Hogan detective crime mystery thriller ("Meet the suspects... In The Perfect Crime!"; "Son... or ASSASSIN? Friend... or FOE? Pet... or ACCOMPLICE? Kin... or KILLER? Lawyer... or MURDERER? Servant... or SLAYER?"; "Ellery Queen solves the perfect crime... to bring you perfect entertainment!"; "Story by Ellery Queen"; based on the famous series of detective novels written by Frederic Dannay and Manfred B. Lee under the combined pen name of "Ellery Queen") starring Ralph Bellamy (in the title role "as Ellery Queen"), Margaret Lindsay ("as Nikki Porter"), Charley Grapewin, Spring Byington, H.B. Warner, James Burke, John Beal, Linda Hayes, and Honorable Wu. Note that this classic series of novels first came to the screen in 1935, as a Monogram movie, called "The Spanish Cape Mystery", starring Donald Cook in the lead role. They followed it with a sequel the next year, replacing Cook with Eddie Quillan. Neither movie did that well at the box office, and Monogram dropped the series. Columbia bought the rights in 1940, when they made "Ellery Queen, Master Detective", with Ralph Bellamy taking over in the lead role, and six more movies were made the next two years, and then the series stopped again. A TV series "The Adventures of Ellery Queen", began in 1950 with Richard Hart in the lead role. The next season he was replaced by Lee Bowman, who lasted three years and then was replaced by Hugh Marlowe, who played the character for five years, and then the series ended. After a two year gap, "The Further Adventures of Ellery Queen" aired on TV starring George Nader for one season, and then Lee Philips for another season. The character was not revived until 1975, when Jim Hutton played the lead role in the TV series "Ellery Queen", but it only lasted one season. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
