Note that we feel certain that this poster is from the first French release in 1943. We have never auctioned another French poster from this movie! Note that this is an extremely rare French poster from during World War II! Very few French posters survive from the mid 1940s or earlier. Apparently there were many paper shortages in France during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all posters from before World War II, and also from during the war, and the first few years afterwards! Finally, note that this French two-panel measures 63" x 91 1/4" [160 x 232 cm], and it was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
