About This Item
[N.p., 1935. Very good.. Photographically illustrated film herald, 12 x 6 inches. Even toning, minor edge wear, short closed tear near top edge. A rare small broadside advertising a true crime presentation including real footage related to the shooting death of famed gangster John Dillinger. This "sensational story," most likely a newsreel mixed with a reenactment of Dillinger's assassination, promised to show "actual authentic pictures," "the ambulance that hauled him away," and "Dillinger's body on a cold slab in the undertakers morgue." The herald includes a portrait of Dillinger himself. The Dillinger film was paired with an action western from 1930 titled, Trails of Danger. An early entry in American true crime and a wonderful display piece.
