Note that in the very late 1930s and early 1940s, MGM had so many major stars under contract that they could put four of their biggest in a single movie, as they did with this great one!

The poster had small paper loss at the top crossfold and tiny paper loss at the other two crossfolds. It had creases and tiny tears along the top horizontal fold. It had many creases and some tears in the top right corner. There was tape on the back a diagonal tear in the top right that that bled through to the front, and the same thing was true of tape on the back of the left end of the top horizontal fold. The poster had pinholes and tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone backed the poster with no restoration, and they did not address the tape stains described above, because most of the defects are not in the image, title, or credits area, the poster can still be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or certainly, one could have additional restoration performed, either with or without re-backing the poster.
