City That Never Sleeps, the 1953 John H. Auer Chicago Illinois crime film noir ("...from the Honky Tonks to the penthouses ...the creeps, the hoods, come out to war with the city!"; "Written by Steve Fisher") starring Gig Young, Mala Powers, William Talman, Edward Arnold, Chill Wills, Marie Windsor, and Paula Raymond. Note that, although the phrase "City that Never Sleeps" became popularized in a song about New York, the phrase was earlier used to refer to the city of Chicago, which is how this movie got its name!

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

Condition: good to very good. The poster had tears and areas of paper loss in the vertical foldline between the middle and bottom crossfolds, and small paper loss at the other two crossfolds and a lesser amount of tears and tiny paper loss on the other foldlines. There were pen markings on the back of the poster that slightly bled through to the front in the forehead of the man at lower left. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer did not address the slight bleed through in the man's forehead, and you can see slight signs of the restoration of the above fold defects.
