Important Added Info: Note that this is a great one-page trade ad taken out of an English Kinematograph Weekly magazine (we have a number of them in this set of auctions, and also some two-page English trade ads and a few English brochures). Studios would run these elaborate ads in issues of this magazine, and they often had images not found on any of the regular movie posters (either English or U.S.). This 1-page trade ad was removed from a 1951 issue of this magazine, and it will look incredible displayed on the new owner's wall. The back of this page has text or an ad for other movies from that time, and we have not pictured that back page because the primary interest to bidders is this great color ad (see our image)! Also note that this is a country of origin item for this English movie. Condition: very good. The ad was removed from a magazine (see above). There is a 1/2" tear in the right border that was repaired with tape from the back. Learn More about condition grades
