Robinson is the editor of a sleazy tabloid newspaper and he will do anything to sell papers, but when he dredges up a 20 year old murder case that ends up ruining a family's life, he develops a conscience, but what can he do to change an entire newspaper's philosophy?) starring Edward G. Robinson, H.B. Warner, Marian Marsh, Anthony Bushell, George E. Stone, Frances Starr, Ona Munson, Robert Elliott, and Boris Karloff. Note that this movie was Robinson's second movie after his giant hit in Little Caesar, and it reunited him with that movie's director, Mervyn LeRoy, and the movie also has eighth billed Boris Karloff, who was still six movies away from having his giant hit in Frankenstein, and he plays an alcoholic reporter with no morals. Everyone who has seen this movie agrees it is highly underrated with great performances from its stars! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good. Someone used the back of the card at a World Series baseball game between Detroit and Chicago, and they drew a grid of pencil squares all over the back of the card so they could keep a complete box score of the game (the back of the card might be valuable to a baseball collector!). The front of the card has slight indentations scattered throughout, caused by when the person drew the pencil grid on the back so please do not bid on this card unless you can accept this defect. Note that the card is completely unrestored and there is no restoration of any kind or tape on the front or back of the card. Learn More about condition grades
