Important Added Info: Note that studios would create photographic negatives to promote their latest movies (or stars), and they would sometimes send these to publicists, theater owners, newspapers, and others, to aid them in promoting the movie. We cannot say for certain what the origin of this negative is, but we feel certain it was created by the studio at the time the movie it was promoting was made! Note that we have altered the scan so it shows you an approximation of what the positive image looks like, but the quality is not the same as the actual negative. Condition: good to very good. The negative was not stored in a plastic sleeve or a glassine envelope, so it has smudges and dust on it. We have provided an image of a scan made from this negative, but please bear in mind that it may have some condition issues. Learn More about condition grades
