          A rare poster for a completely forgotten British film written and co-directed by and starring John Lawson. Its subtitle "Only A Jew" points to tragedy: "A Jewish gambler saves a man from suicide and kills him after he shoots his friend and seduces his wife." Which is a convoluted story-line to say the least. We found a still, and it looks... pretty lively and dramatic. But the poster is a true beauty. And it, at least, has a shot at immortality.
Measures 29 1/2" x 39 1/2".
