Important Added Info: Note that there is also a full-color stone litho one-sheet that was made by Norman Studios for this movie. Apparently, Norman Studios made a second two-color text only poster for its releases at that time (similar to the Rotogravure one-sheets that were being made by MGM at the same time). Also note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 42". Please do not bid on this poster thinking it is 27" x 41". Finally, 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. Condition: good to very good. The poster is somewhat brittle and there is some tattering and tiny paper loss along the foldlines and around the edges, but it is otherwise in pretty remarkable condition, especially considering its age!
