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 Czechoslovakian programs are quite rare. Except for the six Czechoslovakian programs that we are currently listing in separate auctions, we've only seen one before! It is especially interesting that this program is from a Hollywood movie, because very few such movies were distributed in Czechoslovakia before the Communist takeover, and likely incredibly few afterwards. Also, note that this movie was released in the late 1940s through the MPEA, which distributed movies in Germany, Japan, Austria, and Czechoslovakia right after World War II until 1950 (a lot of the people who went to those movies were U.S. servicemen stationed in those countries). Condition: fair. There are many stains throughout the program (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
