Description

Manhattan Melodrama (MGM, 1934). Lobby Card (11" X 14"). Made four years before "Angels With Dirty Faces," and with a similar plot line, this moralistic tale of two boyhood friends, one growing up to become a criminal (Clark Gable) and the other the Governor (William Powell) with the power to commute his friend's sentence, is one of the better gangster films of the 1930s. However, it will always be remembered as the film seen by real-life gangster John Dillinger moments before he was gunned-down while leaving the Biograph theatre. This scene card has a crease in the upper right corner and a crack on the left side that goes into Powell in the border art. Very Fine-.
