Auction History Result 6b0416 INVISIBLE STRIPES TC 1939 young William Holden surrounded by policemen with guns, very rare! Date Sold 3/12/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Invisible Stripes, the 1939 Lloyd Bacon crime prison ex-convict family relationship romantic melodrama ("Three men and a girl ...bound by invisible ties - branded by Invisible Stripes"; "From an Original Story by Jonathan Finn"; "Based on the Book by Warden Lewis E. Lawes"; about an ex-convict who gets out of jail and wants to go straight, but his former buddies try to drag him back into a life of crime) starring George Raft ("Tougher than in 'Each Dawn I Die'"; "The crook who wanted to go straight - but couldn't!"), Jane Bryan ("Greater than in 'We Are Not Alone'"; "The girl who promised to wait - but didn't!"), William Holden ("More amazing than in 'Golden Boy'"; "The kid who tried to be dishonest - but couldn't!"), Humphrey Bogart ("He thought he was smart enough - but wasn't!"), Flora Robson ("She tried to guide her sons - but couldn't!"), Paul Kelly, Henry O'Neill, Lee Patrick, Frankie Thomas, and Leo Gorcey. Note that George Raft naturally got top billing (he was coming off of "Each Dawn I Die" with James Cagney) and Jane Bryan got second billing (she was also in "Each Dawn I Die" and had made an impression in "We Are Not Alone"). William Holden got third billing (he had just made a sensational debut in "Golden Boy"). Poor Humphrey Bogart was given a distant fourth billing (in spite of his sensational performance in "The Petrified Forest"), far smaller than that of his three co-stars, and equal to that of fifth billed Flora Robson! It would take a couple more years before Bogart moved to the first rank of Warner stars! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned many first release lobby cards from this movie, but we have only auctioned one example of this title card, and that was 20 years ago! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: good. The card has darkened, typical of Warner Bros. linen lobby cards of this period, but it is not fragile. There are pinholes and some stains around the edges and just a few within the image. Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back. Obviously, the card can be restored, and it is likely that most or all of the stains can be removed chemically, and after proper restoration, the card will display well, but bear in mind its significant defects (and look at our super-sized images) before bidding on this card.
