Kitty, the 1945 Mitchell Leisen historical England rags-to-riches romantic melodrama ("She's that scandalous London temptress who made a career out of love!"; "Paramount's lavish revelation of the life and loves of the first of the flaming gold-diggers!"; "From that daring novel you've heard about!"; based on the novel by Rosamond Marshall) starring Paulette Goddard (in the title role as Kitty), Ray Milland (billed as "The Academy Award Star!"), Patric Knowles, Cecil Kellaway, Reginald Owen, and Constance Collier

Artist: Richardson Studio
Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this Australian daybill! The buyer of one of those had the poster linenbacked, and they have now reconsigned it to us, so this is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned!

Note that this is one of an amazing collection of 62 linenbacked Australian daybills that all have great art from Richardson Studio (or John Richardson, before he became "Richardson Studio"!), which many collectors feel have the best art and design of any Australian daybills, and are highly sought after by collectors. These were accumulated by a very dedicated collector over many years, and they are now being all offered at once (in 62 separate auctions), so this is a wonderful opportunity to obtain one or many of these daybills, many of which rarely are offered for sale or at auction.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had pinholes in the corners and three small brown dot stains in the left half of the top fold. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
