If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has a United Artists logo on it, and certainly is vintage. We do not think it is from 1937, because Jean Gabin is billed as "The Ultimate Sensation of Hollywood", and he did not make his first Hollywood movie until "Moontide" in 1942, so we would think that this release might date from right after that time. Given that the movie was not released in the U.S. until 1941, we think it is likely that this is from the first Argentinean release. Also note that the poster has an artist's signature on it, but we cannot make it out in the slightest. If anyone knows the name of this artist, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
