Description

Sadie Thompson (United Artists, 1928). Insert (14" X 36").
From Somerset Maugham's original story comes this well done drama from director Raoul Walsh. Gloria Swanson is wonderful in her Academy Award-nominated role as the title character, a world weary fallen woman who is targeted by a missionary (Lionel Barrymore) as a soul needing to be saved. Paper from this top Swanson title is scarce, and this beautiful insert will be a highlight to any collection. It shows small tears at the bottom edge, a minor chip in the lower right corner, a light dust shadow at the edges, and pinpoint stains at the top. Rolled, Fine/Very Fine.
