CGC Graded Lobby Card (11" x 14")
Near Mint
Warner Bros., 1933

This exquisite CGC-grade lobby card spotlights a young James Cagney as well as Joan Blondell, a frequent co-star, and Claire Dodd, as part of a star-studded cast that includes Dick Powell, Frank McHugh, Ruth Donnelly, Guy Kibbee, and Hugh Herbert, as well as Dorothy Lamour in her screen debut as a chorus girl.

This lobby card has been CGC graded at 9.6, which is Near Mint.

Most people today associate James Cagney with his gangster roles in such classic films as The Public Enemy (1931), The Roaring Twenties (1949), and White Heat (1949). But Cagney always considered himself a dancer who acted, a talent that is put to great use in this delightful Pre-Code film. The film cost more than $700,000 to produce, a massive sum during the depths of the Depression, returning more than $2.4 million in its initial run. Wanting to step away, at least momentarily, from the gangster identity he had built for himself, Cagney, who had a background in both vaudeville and Broadway before going to Hollywood, campaigned hard for this role.

Estimate: $1,000 - 2,000
