Description

Mr. Moto's Gamble (20th Century Fox, 1938). Three Sheet (41" X 81").
Mr. Moto (Peter Lorre) and his son Lee Chan (Keye Luke) set out to solve the mystery of a boxer who dies under suspicious circumstances in the middle of a fight. The story was originally intended as an entry in the Charlie Chan series, but when Warner Oland become ill during filming, it was hastily retooled as a Mr. Moto vehicle. This striking stone litho three sheet had fold wear, crossfold separation, a light dust shadow in the top right, and some very light edgewear in the right border, but expert professional restoration has rendered these slight flaws virtually invisible, making it a gem that any film fan will be proud to own. Very Fine on Linen.
