A girl risks her life. The Creeper stalks to kill!"; "The master minds tackle the master crimes!"; "Marked for a sudden and violent death!"; "A girl risked everything for it!"; "20 men lost their lives for it!"; "Who was the Creeper?"; "Based on 'The Six Napoleons' by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle") starring Basil Rathbone (as Sherlock Holmes), Nigel Bruce (as Doctor Watson), Evelyn Ankers, Dennis Hoey (as Inspector Lestrade), Miles Mander, Mary Gordon, and Rondo Hatton (as The Creeper). Click on Rondo Hatton's name to learn more about this actor, who suffered from acromegaly, which distorted his features (but Universal saw this as a good thing, because they could cast him as a "monster" without any makeup!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: poor. The poster had tears and areas of paper loss down the center and also unevenly along the horizontal folds, with some areas scattered throughout the poster. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. Someone did a valiant job of restoring all the tears and areas of paper loss, but this poster was really jinxed, because after it was backed, it acquired water staining in the bottom 4-6" and there is now much damage in that area and also some in the right blank border. The poster could be re-backed, but it has already had major restoration, so absolutely bear in mind its many problems before placing a bid on it. Learn More about condition grades
