Artist: Lee Reedy
Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been personally autographed (signed) by Carl Russell! Our consignor is a dealer who was setting up at a show and he had this poster on the wall behind him. An elderly man pointed at the poster and said "I worked on that", and after he explained that he worked at the makeup department at RKO, he signed the poster with information about himself! He does not have a certificate of authenticity, but we are certain the signature is authentic (and we would be amazed if Carl Russell would have said he worked on the movie if he didn't!).
