Lobby Card (11" x 14") ;
Very Fine+
Paramount, 1933

Widely regarded as one of the most salacious pre-Code films, this beautifully color-tinted lobby card shows Miriam Hopkins being chased by a bootlegger (Jim Mason). This example is unrestored, in excellent condition, with only a small crease in the lower border and minor wear on two corners.

The film was highly controversial for its subject matter and was banned in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Production Code Administration head Joseph Breen also barred its re-release once the Code took effect in 1934, and it did not resurface until the mid-1950s. Paramount initially offered George Raft the role of "Trigger," but he refused, fearing it would damage his career. After a public dispute, the studio relented and cast Jack La Rue instead.
