Note that MGM normally made two different styles of one-sheets for each of their movies from the mid 1930s to the mid 1940s, and they were normally labeled style C and style D. For unknown reasons, there are four different first release one-sheets for this movie, and two of them are labeled style C and style D, and another one has "1SHT.BLOCK" stamped on the back, and the fourth one has "1SHT. SPECIAL" stamped on the back, and we are not sure why they made these two additional one-sheets. 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 that this one-sheet, which measures 27 1/4" x 41 1/4" [69 x 105 cm], is a "special" one-sheet (it even has "1 Sht. Special" stamped on the back, which proves that it is "special"!). It has a great close up that completely shows the half of Joan Crawford's scarred face that is mostly obscured in the other movie paper, and it has the great added tagline "They called her a SCARFACED SHE-DEVIL!". We have never auctioned this poster before! Condition: good to very good. The poster has separation and tiny paper loss at the top crossfold. It was likely displayed in a frame, because the poster has darkened slightly, except for in the blank borders, which were likely covered by a mat. There is grease pencil writing on the back of the poster that somewhat bleeds through to the front in Crawford's forehead, and a NSS stamp on the back of the top right corner. There are some creases scattered throughout. After a pretty simple linenbacking, the poster will look fantastic! Learn More about condition grades
