If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this French 4-panel poster has different art from the 2-panel for this classic movie. On the 4-panel, Gabin and Simon are hugging by a railroad train, and on the 2-panel, Gabin is staring at a distressed Simon by a harbor. In almost every other way, the two posters have the same credits and printing, so we believe both poster are surely first release posters (although the 2-panel has overprinting over the credits). We are auctioning an example of each of these rare and desirable posters in this set of auctions! Also note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this French movie! Also note that this French four-panel measures 91 3/4" x 124 3/4" [233 x 317 cm]. Finally, note that this French four-panel was printed in 4 sections designed to overlap. Condition: very good to fine. There is some minor wear on the foldlines and the borders, but overall, the poster has likely survived in as good condition as one could hope!
