If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that first release 1935 movie posters from this movie are incredibly rare. We had only auctioned a single glass slide from this movie until we received this one-sheet in 2016, and now that very same poster has been reconsigned to us for this auction, so it is still the only example we have ever auctioned (and since that time we have only auctioned a single 8x10 still for it and no other movie paper whatsoever)! Also note that this one-sheet has been trimmed and it now measures 27 1/4" x 39 1/2" [69 x 100 cm].

Condition: good to very good. Someone trimmed off 1" of the top of the poster and 1/2" off the bottom. Since we highly doubt the top of the poster was a full bleed, we would suspect that it was just the top blank border that was cut off, but we have never seen another example of this poster to compare it to. Otherwise, the poster is in nice condition.
