If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned ANY of these special 40x60 posters! They appear to be a special set of 40x60s that were created for this movie (and of course, there may have been other portraits of the other lead actors). They are definitely "photographic blow-ups" that were hand colored, which are extremely like the "Meloy Bros" 40x60 posters created in the 1930s. We don't know any more than what we wrote about, because we have never before seen even one of these. If anyone knows more about these, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
