Original Warner Brothers One Sheet Poster (27x41) for the Raoul Walsh film noir crime drama, THEY DRIVE BY NIGHT (1940) starring George Raft, Ann Sheridan, Ida Lupino, and Humphrey Bogart. Raft and Bogart are small-time truck drivers. Sheridan is a wise cracking waitress, and Lupino plays the vicious, scorned woman. This film was popular with audiences not because of the story so much as the forceful performances by all the main actors and the excellent direction by Walsh. The most memorable moment in the film is the trial sequence in which Lupino disintegrates into hysterics on the witness stand. This original one sheet poster is linen-backed and in very fine condition.
