Note that first release movie posters from this Preston Sturges comedy are EXTREMELY rare! Perhaps this is related to the paper drives that occurred during World War II, or there could be another reason. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note the we have only previously auctioned one example of this insert, and that was 7 years ago! Not only that, but we only auctioned one half-sheet, and that was 23 years ago. And while we have auctioned the one-sheet three times, it has a very disappointing image (lots of text and very small images). This insert is a far superior poster! Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. It had some pinholes and smudges around the edges. It had a 1" tear in the right of the top border that was repaired with tape from the back, and another 1" tear in the upper left border that was also repaired with tape from the back. There is a 4" horizontal crease in the top right corner, in the background area. There are a few smudges and tiny stains scattered in the image. Learn More about condition grades
