Notes: Checklist incomplete. Blank-backed. Brown colored. Unknown if other colors used. These all have the word G-Men somewhere in the caption line. At the time these cards were issued in the mid-1930s, there were a lot of movies coming out about gangsters and G-Men. This set shows scenes from multiple movies of this genre, with the stars unidentified on the cards. There are some big-name actors in this set, including Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, Bette Davis, Cesar Romero, Lionel Barrymore, and Lloyd Nolan.
Date info: All the movies studied from this set date from 1935 and 1936, so I'm placing a 1936 date on this set.
