CALL IT MURDER 1sh R1947 huge close up of Humphrey Bogart
with gun!
A 1947 Re-Release Midnight (re-titled “Call It
Murder” for this re-release) Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster
(1sh; measures 27″ x 41″ [69 x 104 cm])
Midnight, the 1934 Chester Erskine crime thriller starring
Sidney Fox (she was a very pretty diminutive actress who began playing leading
roles in 1931 at the age of 23, and she appeared in just 14 movies before
retiring in 1934 when she married a studio executive; but she had an extremely
unhappy abusive marriage, and she committed suicide in 1942, another one of
those Hollywood tragedies we hear about all too often), O.P. Heggie (best
remembered as the blind man who befriends the monster in “The Bride of Frankenstein”,
and also as the next door cellmate to Robert Donat in “The Count of Monte
Cristo”), Henry Hull, Margaret Wycherly, Lynne Overman, Katherine Wilson,
Richard Whorf, Humphrey Bogart, Moffat Johnson, and Henry O’Neill. Note that
this was one of Bogart’s final movies in Hollywood during his first period
there, and after this, he gave up on Hollywood and went back to Broadway. The
movie was quickly forgotten, but in 1947, some clever distributor dusted off
this old movie and gave it a noir title, and advertised it with images of
Bogart with a gun, and no doubt tricked people into thinking they were seeing a
new Bogart movie!
Storyline
The foreman of a jury asks questions that send a woman to
the electric chair for a murder committed in the heat of passion. On the night
of the execution, his actions come back to haunt him.
