The Frame-Up

Super surviving US half sheet film poster from the Summer of 1937 for the hard hitting crime film "The Frame-Up". The story involves gangsters betting heavily on a horse in a horse race getting fantastic odds because the animal 'Red Rodgers' doesn't have a chance. The horse in Red Rodgers stall won't however be that animal at all - it will be a 'Ringer' and sure to win. The gangsters kidnap a pretty secretary to assure their plan of success but as the poster shows, the law prevails in the end. A great full colour film poster. Picturing scenes of the horse racing action and a pointed finger at the pretty secretary who the gang target.

Folded as issued to the cinema and purchased by us from an Irish cinema with a 1 inch closed tear at the bottom border repaired with archival tape to the reverse. A pinhole in the top tow corners and a scratch line at the left side as seen on Jacqueline Wells.
