Young is hired as a servant and then falls in love with Robert Taylor, who is the son of the family for whom she works. Rathbone is deliciously evil as the tyrannical butler who has designs on Young.

Original MGM Portrait Scene Lobby Card (11×14) for the Roy Del Ruth musical, BROADWAY RHYTHM (1944) starring George Murphy, Ginny Simms, Charles Winninger, and Gloria DeHaven. In this MGM musical Broadway producer Murphy is hot to cast his big Broadway musical with expensive hi-toned performers but finds out that talent is all around him all the time. Another in the great series of movies with the MGM theme “Hey Gang, Let’s Put On A Show.” Not exactly MIckey and Judy, but not far off either. George Murphy would later become a United States Senator from California long before Ronald Reagan would ever become a national political figure. This original portrait lobby card of George Murphy and Ginny Simms is in fine plus to very fine condition.

Original First National Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the depression-era, department store drama, EMPLOYEE’S ENTRANCE (1933) directed by Roy Del Ruth and starring Warren William, Loretta Young, and Wallace Ford. 12,000 workers pass through the “employee’s entrance” of New York’s Franklin Monroe & Co department store in 1933, but the firm’s financial condition is going down fast. William is an amoral, conniving, tyrannical manager, and Loretta Young (at age 20) is a new sales girl who sleeps with William in order to get her job. Ford is a rising star in the store and secretly married to Young. But even though William is a tyrant, he also struggles to avoid laying off thousands of employees in a fight to the death with the bankers. The screenplay is well written, fast paced, and witty. This was a “pre-code” film and seems quite risque for the time. This era of social frankness would not reemerge until the counter-culture of the 1960′s. This original one sheet poster is linen-backed and in fine plus condition. The colors are vivid, and there is no missing paper. There is some minimal repair to fold separations. A truly stunning “pre-code” poster.
