Become the underworld's phantom terror?"; about a European immigrant who is disfigured in a fire, and turns to crime, because everybody shuns him) starring Peter Lorre, Evelyn Keyes, Don Beddoe, George E. Stone, and John Tyrrell

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we do not know exactly what this poster is, but it seems likely that it is a Canadian one-sheet, because we have seen many other similar "silkscreen"-like one-sheets that originated in Canada, and were apparently only used in that country. It would seem extremely likely that it dates from 1941. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this one-sheet measures 28 1/4" x 42 1/4" [72 x 107 cm]. Please do not bid on it thinking that it is 27" x 41".

Condition: good. The poster had diagonal paper loss in the top left corner, extending into the green background. There was tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and many creases and scuffs on parts of some foldlines. There were diagonal creases in the middle of the left of the poster and some creases, tears, and tiny areas of paper loss in the borders. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
