In good condition, with some minor edgewear. Auburn-haired beauty Arleen Whelan was memorable in Kidnapped (1938)  Young Mr. Lincoln (1939), Sabotage (1941), Charley's Aunt (1941), Charlie Chan in Castle in the Desert (1942), The Senator Was Indiscreet (1947), That Wonderful Urge (1948), and The Sun Shines Bright (1953) before she abandoned Hollywood at the age of 43.
