Artist: Henri Florit Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this French movie! Note that this is an extremely rare pre-World War II French poster! Virtually no French posters survive from before, during, or right after World War II (mostly only pre-war heavy stock lobby cards, and even those are rare).
