Note that although the IMDb says that this movie was released in English-speaking countries, we have never seen even a single movie paper item from any English-speaking country, including the U.S., so we wonder if that is true. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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 this poster was printed on the back of an old map! After World War II in Belgium, there was a massive paper shortage, and so they used whatever paper they could find to print the movie posters, and in many cases they used old maps, and printed the movie posters on the reverse. They often also made the posters smaller, so they could get more posters printed. This practice continued for a couple of years after World War II. Since these posters are original, and since all such posters are printed on the back of maps or other posters, this is not considered a defect by almost all collectors. Also note that this poster was folded across the middle at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: fair. There is a tear and area of paper loss in the credits at upper center (repaired with tape from the back). There is rippling and discoloration throughout the poster from exposure to moisture. There is a tax stamp at lower left and remnants of a snipe across the top edge of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
