The Crowd Roars (Warner Brothers-Vitagraph, 1932). Insert (14" X 36").
James Cagney teamed with action director Howard Hawks for this exciting and fast paced tale of race car drivers and what it takes to make it in the sport. The story has been done many times, including Tom Cruises' Days of Thunder, but no actor could match Cagney's cocky arrogance - exactly what it takes to be the best in racing. Joan Blondell, Cagney's number one leading lady during their time at pre-Code era Warners, was never better. This insert is extremely rare and virtually impossible to find in this condition. Colors are brilliant and the only wear to this insert is some light crimps along the lower left edge and a one inch tear in the middle of the bottom border. Rolled, Very Fine+.
