The Docks of New York, the 1928 Josef von Sternberg silent New York City waterfront sailor romantic melodrama ("Story by John Monk Saunders"; about a rough ship worker on leave in New York City who saves a girl from committing suicide, and because he is drunk and caught up in the moment, he marries her, but when he sobers up, he prepares to return to his ship, perhaps abandoning her; some consider this Josef von Sternberg's best movie!) starring George Bancroft, Betty Compson, Olga Baclanova (billed as "Baclanova"), Gustav von Seyffertitz, Lillian Worth, Guy Oliver, Mitchell Lewis, May Foster, and Clyde Cook

Important Added Info: Note that lobby cards from this movie are extremely rare. We have never auctioned one until we received this title card (and while we have auctioned window cards and jumbo lobby cards, we have never auctioned a single larger poster)! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has.

Condition: very good. The card had two scuff marks starting in the center above the "V" of "BACLANOVA", and running through the front of Bancroft's hat into his hair. It also had some smudges in that area. It had some pinholes and darkening around the edges. Someone performed restoration to the front of the card without backing it, and this very rare card displays well!
