Description

Broadway (Universal, 1929). Lobby Card (11" X 14"). From the Leonard and Alice Maltin Collection.
An early "talkie," this film, directed by Paul Fejos, is a story of guns and gangsters set against the backdrop of a Broadway cabaret. Particularly notable is the use of a camera crane, invented by the director specifically for use on this film. This groundbreaking innovation, which was to become a cinematic staple in the years to come, allowed for previously unseen panoramic shots and fluid motions that made this movie stand out from the crowd in 1929. This wonderful card is from one of two sets produced for this film by Universal Pictures, a fairly common procedure for bigger budget films of the day. There are pinholes in the corners, a stain in the lower border, a light dust shadow in the left border, and small bends in the lower corners. From the Leonard and Alice Maltin Collection. Very Fine-
