A woman on trial for her life for a crime she had not committed! A young attorney torn between love and duty! A great love story! A picture that shouldn't be missed!"; "From the novel by Arthur Train"; a complicated tale of a politician whose wife leaves him with a baby daughter, and he raises her himself, and she grows up and has a boyfriend who the politician gets a job for in the District Attorney's office; the mother returns, now a decrepit old woman, and the father is found dead, and the mother is charged with the crime, and she refuses to talk, so her daughter won't learn how far her mother had fallen; the boyfriend finds out the truth and he resigns from the District Attorney's office to defend the woman, and ultimately clears her of the crime!) starring Jack Holt, Ernest Torrence, Esther Ralston, Louise Dresser, Ward Crane, and Richard Tucker. Note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Condition: good to very good. The poster had pinholes, creases, tears, and some areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster and some creases, smudges, scuffs, and a few pinholes scattered throughout the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was well backed by a talented restorer, who did not touch up many of the faint smudges and scuffs (and I agree with that decision, because to do so would have required lots of paint, which would have given the poster a "heavily restored" look, and I don't feel the smudges and scuffs are all that distracting, and they help establish that this is a genuine 82 year-old original poster!). Obviously, one would prefer to find an example of this window card that had no defects or restoration, but I do not know if another example of this card exists (or if it does, if the owner would consider parting with it!). This card has had expert restoration and displays nicely. Learn More about condition grades
