Romance... Adventure... with fiction's most lovable scoundrel!"; "Blackie's driving detectives wacky... By solving a murder they want HIM for!"; about the title character performing a magic show in prison, and one of the convicts escapes, and the police blame Boston Blackie for helping him escape, and he must both catch the criminal and prove his innocence) starring Chester Morris (in the title role as Boston Blackie), Adele Mara, Richard Lane, George E. Stone, Lloyd Corrigan, Walter Sande, Lloyd Bridges, Marjorie Jackson, and Larry Parks (in an early role as the escaped convict). Note that this is the third 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. Also note that Lloyd Bridges was completely unbilled in this movie (it is one of the dozens of uncredited roles he had in the beginning of his career). He plays a bus diver and he is prominently pictured on one of the lobby cards, but no other advertising that we are aware of. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: SUPER IMPORTANT! THIS LOT CONTAINS 12 STILLS, BUT ONLY FOUR OF THE STILLS ARE PICTURED! THE HIGH BIDDER ON THIS LOT WILL RECEIVE 12 STILLS FROM THIS MOVIE, and NOT just the four pictured! We realize there is an element of gambling to this, but we made no effort to find the best four stills in the lot, and, if you have any willingness to gamble at all, you may find that you get some great stills that were not pictured! Please do NOT bid on this lot unless you can accept that you are only seeing four of the stills. Note that on our larger lots of black and white stills (ones with nine or more in the lot), there are a small number of lots where there may be one or several duplicated stills in the stills not pictured (we only picture four of the stills on most of the black and white lots). We tried to note when some of the stills not pictured were duplicates to the ones that were pictured, but we may not have caught that every time, so please do not bid on the lots of nine or more stills unless you can accept the possibility that there may be some duplicated stills contained in the lot. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
