Description

Marked Woman (Warner Brothers, 1937). Fine+. Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This compelling gangster story, based on the life of Lucky Luciano, is about night club hostess Mary Strauber (Bette Davis), a call girl with a heart of gold, who endures physical abuse when she stands up to mobster Johnny Vanning (Eduardo Ciannelli). After those same mobsters cause the death of Mary's sister, she turns state's evidence on Vanning, with the help of crusading District Attorney David Graham (Humphrey Bogart). It was during the filming of this picture that Bogart met Mayo Methot, (she plays the character of Estelle in this movie), who would become his second wife. The striking gloss finish title card has very mild creasing, soft surface scuffs, several pinholes (which have been lightly repaired/retouched) and uniform age toning (always expected with Warner's gloss-coated cards). Easily one of the most startling, indelible poster art images of the 1930s.
