If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned two Danish posters from this movie until we received this Italian poster! Note that Italian posters from before World War II are among the most rare posters there are! Very few Italian posters survive from before, during, or right after World War II. Apparently there were many paper shortages in Italy during the war, resulting in the destruction of almost all posters from before World War II, and also from during the war, and the first few years afterwards! This is an extremely rare first release Italian poster from 1938! Note that this Italian one-sheet measures 27 1/2" x 39 1/4" [70 x 100 cm]. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. UPDATED 03/04/2020: Note that we have updated the first release date. Condition: good. The poster has uneven darkening in the top border, along with pinholes. It has some darkening in the outer edges of the left and right borders, and there are small tears in the left border. There are marks in the bottom right corner, extending into the "T" of the title, that look to be ink transfer from another poster. They continue up through the man's jacket (this is not bleed-through from the back, because there is nothing on the back, but rather transfer from another poster that laid on top of this.)
