Vintage original 8x10 in. US single-weight glossy photograph from the classic 1930's cab company-themed crime drama romance, TAXI, released in 1930 by Warner Bros. and directed by Roy Del Ruth. Amidst a backdrop of growing violence and intimidation, independent cab drivers struggling against a consolidated juggernaut rally around hot-tempered Matt Nolan (James Cagney), who is determined to keep competition alive on the streets, even if it means losing the woman (Loretta Young) he loves.
The image features an exterior shot depicting cab driver Matt Nolan (James Cagney) talking with fellow cabbie Skeets (George E. Stone) as each sit in their respective taxi cabs. It is in poor condition only with a large diagonal chip on the right corners; multiple creases of varying sizes in the top third; and signs of wear in the borders. The image quality is razor-sharp with very fine detail and great contrast.
