Important Added Info: Note that a first release poster of any sort from this movie is super expensive! This local theater window card (likely created three years after the first release; see below) is surely a great alternative to spending a fortune on a first release poster! Also note that "SUN. JAN. 23rd" is handwritten on the card, and that date correlates to 1949. It seems likely that a local theater was showing the movie three years after its release, and either this window card was created at that time, or it had been created in 1946, and was just being used three years later. But we are calling it as being R49, even though the movie was likely in release throughout those three years. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this window card may have been trimmed, because it measures 14" x 16" [36 x 41 cm], but it may have been made that size. Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good to very good. The card was either trimmed or it was created in this size. There are some faint stains around the edges and handwritten play dates and a cash prize amount at the top and bottom. Learn More about condition grades
