If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that there is a 1947 re-release of this movie that is from Film Classics, and has an ad campaign similar to the one on this window card, but because the bottom of it has been trimmed, we don't know if it is from that re-release. Because we can't be sure, we are calling this R50s, but it certainly could be from the 1947 re-release. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 13 3/4" x 14" [35 x 36 cm]. Also note that the window card was folded down the center at one time. Because it would not fit in our standard sized package even if it were re-folded, we don't want to re-fold the window card prior to mailing, and we believe that re-folding the window card would lessen its condition (we never roll window cards into a tube). If you specifically request it, we will re-fold this window card, but you will not be able to return it. Condition: fair. It appears that the window card had approximately 2" trimmed from the top, and approximately 4 1/4" trimmed from the bottom, which clearly extended well into the image. In addition, the card was folded down the middle. But it is very fortunate that the title, credits, and most of the image and taglines appear to have been unharmed by the trimming, and certainly anyone could display this card just as it is. But please bear in mind its considerable defects before placing a bid! Learn More about condition grades
