Note that there have been many real life cases where someone has tried to make their spouse think they are losing their sanity, and it is commonly referred to as "gaslighting" that person, because of this famous movie with that plot! 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 the person who did the color for the poster did not take care to make sure the top section matched the bottom section (or they had problems with one of the four colors), and there is a very distinctive difference in the color of the tops of Bergman's and Cotten's heads and the rest of their heads, and the background colors don't match well either. This is something that would be true of all examples of this poster and not just this specific poster, but please bear this in mind before placing a bid on this poster. Note that this three-sheet was printed in the United States for use at theaters with Spanish speaking audiences (this was done most by MGM, starting in the 1930s, but it was done by the other major studios as well, and often the posters would have the exact same image as the English language poster, except the writing would be in Spanish, and on posters from the 1930s and 1940s there would be an added "Toda en Espanol!", meaning "Entirely in Spanish!", printed within the image). Sometimes posters from the 1960s or later will have the word "SPANISH" printed in the bottom border (or sometimes stamped on the back of the poster). Also note that this three-sheet was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Condition: fair to good. The poster is fragile and has small tears and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of several folds, more so on the ones that were on the outside when the poster was fully folded.
