Item Description
41.5x79.25" for the original release of the 1940 Monogram Pictures mystery directed by William Nigh and starring Boris Karloff as Mr. Wong, the final of five (out of six in the series) films to star Karloff as the Chinese detective. The film also starred Marjorie Reynolds and Grant Withers. Great stone lithography features Wong's face at bottom right, w/rays emitting from eyes towards image of Withers and Reynolds. As w/all three sheets, this poster is pieced together from three pieces, w/images lining up nicely. Originally folded, poster has been linen-mounted w/scattered color touch-ups along fold lines and some small areas of restoration at fold crease intersections. Area on Withers' jacket lapel has some moderate color touch-ups to mirrored fold lines. Margins have several pin holes w/scattered touch-ups and some airbrushing. There are a number of pinholes across top edge of bottom third portion of poster as well, which have also been touched-up. Fine overall, but still very nice for display as linen-mounted as poster retains strong color.
