NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this was a pretty daring romantic comedy for 1943, with lots of sexual innuendos, and the producers would likely have tried to have an image of Jean Arthur in bed with Joel McCrea on the poster, but they surely couldn't have gotten away with that, and instead they used an interesting image of eight generic women in bed with sexy Jean Arthur in the foreground! Condition: good. The poster was folded in half an extra time resulting in a vertical foldline at left and right. Those folds, as well as the regular folds and fold edges, have tiny creases, tears, bits of paper loss and separation and several of the defects are backed with tape. After proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
