THE MURDER MAN

Three Sheet and Pressbook (39.75" x 78" & 14" x 20")
Good+ Folded
MGM, 1935

This group consists of a three sheet poster and the corresponding pressbook from the MGM mystery/crime drama that marked the first screen appearance of Spencer Tracy. This scarce poster is kraft-backed as was the custom at the time and has been trimmed to approximately 39.5" x 78". It exhibits fold and crossfold wear with paper loss, border and edge wear, and crimping and small creases in the image area. It is a great candidate for linen-backing to restore this milestone poster in the career of Spencer Tracy to its full glory. Also included is the film's pressbook, which is folded and exhibits edge wear with paper loss and separation.

Adapted and directed by Tim Whelan, Spencer Tracy delivers a powerhouse performance as Steve Grey, a hard-nosed reporter known for outpacing the competition. The cast includes Virginia Bruce, Lionel Atwill, William Demarest, and James Stewart in his first feature film role. This marked the beginning of Tracy's long-standing collaboration with MGM, spanning forty films.
