Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this teaser 40x60, which has a completely different image! We have previously auctioned the "regular" 40x60 for this movie. Both are unbelievably rare! National Screen Service offered 40x60s on almost every movie in the 1930s and 1940s, but very few theaters ordered them (surely because they cost many times what a three-sheet cost, due to the heavier paper). Very few 40x60s survive from ANY movies from the mid 1940s and earlier. There is information at the bottom of this teaser 40x60 (which was also on the bottom of the "regular" 40x60 we previously auctioned) that says "THIS IS THE PROPERTY OF NATIONAL SCREEN SERVICE CORP. LICENSED FOR DISPLAY ONLY IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXHIBITION OF THIS PICTURE AT YOUR THEATER. PLEASE PACK AND RETURN IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE CURRENT WEEK'S SHOW." Obviously, this further explains why these are so rare, because theaters had to return them!

Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. There are creases, smudges, and scuffs scattered throughout the image, typical of silkscreen 40x60s from this period. There are brown water stains scattered across the top edge of the poster and in the top of the left and right borders, with small paper loss near the top left corner. There are creases and a few tiny tears and some tiny paper loss around the edges. See our image to get a good sense of the exact condition of this extremely rare poster.
