An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More)

Trapped by Boston Blackie, the 1948 Seymour Friedman Massachusetts detective crime mystery thriller ("The killing low-down on high society!"; "Three women want Blackie... Arrested!"; "Story by Charles Marion and Edward Bock") starring Chester Morris (in the title role as Boston Blackie), June Vincent, Richard Lane, Patricia Barry (billed as "Patricia White"), Edward Norris, and George E. Stone. Note that this is one of fourteen movies made in the 1940s with Chester Morris playing the fictional character "Boston Blackie", a former crook turned detective (there had been ten silent movies made in the 1920s), all of which were based on short stories by Jack Boyle.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: fair to good. The poster has some significant separation along portions of the center horizontal fold (see our image). After proper restoration the very rare poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
