Important Added Info: Note that these cards are undated, but they are from the first re-release of the movie in 1944. At that time, Warner Bros. and MGM were both suffering from the loss of their major stars to military service (partly because of their great patriotism, and partly because they were in the 90% tax bracket!). Both studios re-released a great number of their best 1930s films in 1942 to 1944, but we know these cards to be from exactly 1944, because we have auctioned lobby cards that have an NSS number handwritten on the front and back that is 44-267. Condition: good. Each of the cards has a Canadian censor stamp somewhere in the image. The title card has many scuffs, stains, and tears around the edges, with some staple holes in the top center and some scuffs scattered in the image. It has two tape repairs on the back of the borders. Two of the scene cards have two pieces of paper tape on the back, but they were not put there for a restoration purpose. Other than the censor stamps, the scene cards would range between "good to very good" and "very good" condition, with some minor wear around the edges. Please look closely at our super-sized images to get an exact sense of the condition of each card. None of them have had any restoration (other than the paper tape, which was not "restoration").
