If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Not many people can afford the multi-thousand dollar original one-sheet from this classic movie, but this re-release one-sheet (with an attractive image, that most people would say is better than that of the first release poster) is a very attractive alternative, because it may cost a fraction as much as the original (but remember that this poster was released just seven years after the first release of the movie, and it is incredibly rare, perhaps more rare than the 1942 U.S. one-sheet). We have only auctioned this poster once before, and that was 14 years ago! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good.
