BLIND ALIBI (1938) RKO Crime Richard Dix and similar items

Vintage original 11x14 in. U.S. lobby card from the 1930's mystery crime drama, BLIND ALIBI, released in 1938 by RKO Radio Pictures and directed by Lew Landers, in which a Paris sculptor (Richard Dix) fakes blindness in Los Angeles to recover his blackmailed sister's love letters. The image features a great exterior medium action shot of Paul Dover (Richard Dix) in his guise of a blind man as he is grabbed from behind by Mitch (Eduardo Ciannelli) while another thug grabs him by the face. The border art near the film's title and credits features a tinted photographic image of Dix holding a flashlight while a man tries to crack a safe. This vintage original lobby card is unrestored in very good condition with a 1 in. long chip on the top right corner in the right border only; two pinholes in the top left corner, one in the center of the left and right borders, three in the bottom left corner and two in the bottom right corner; a 0.5 in. diagonal crease with signs of wear on the bottom right corner; and light signs of wear on the bottom left corner. The colors are extremely fresh and vibrant with no indications of fading. Provenance: The Morris Everett J. Collection.
