Date Sold 5/12/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) The Case of the Stuttering Bishop, the 1937 William Clemens mystery crime thriller ("Baffling mystery! With thrills galore!"; based on the Perry Mason series of books by Erle Stanley Gardner; about a bishop from Australia who asks Mason to investigate the case of a woman who was wrongly accused of manslaughter 22 years before, and of course, he has a brilliant summation in court where he solves the crime!) starring Ann Dvorak (as Della Street), Donald Woods (as Perry Mason), Anne Nagel, Linda Perry, Veda Ann Borg, Joseph Crehan (as Paul Drake), and "a great cast". Note that Warner Bros. purchased the rights to these characters in 1934, and the first movie in the series was "The Case of the Howling Dog" starring Warren William. William played Mason in three more entries, and then Ricardo Cortez took over in 1936 for "The Case of the Black Cat". This movie was the sixth and final of the series, with Donald Woods in the lead role, and after that, the next Perry Mason on screen would be Raymond Burr in the classic 1960s TV series! Note that Donald Woods went on to appear in lots of B-movies, both in starring and supporting roles, and he called himself the "King of the Bs". 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 is an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned it once before (and that same poster has been reconsigned to this auction)! Note also that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 insert posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 insert posters (note that most post-1970 inserts were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those inserts). Condition: good to very good. The poster has creases and tears of varying lengths (generally 1" or less but some are larger) along portions of some edges (especially at right center) and each of the tears is repaired with tape from the back. There is paper loss at right that touches the green background (see our image) and there is some small border loss at left and there are some smudges and scuff marks scattered in a few areas. After paperbacking the insert will display well, but bear in mind its condition before placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
