Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this 1933 first release one-sheet! Likely, the first release movie paper from this classic movie is so rare because the movie was given a quick re-release in 1938, and it seems extremely likely that all of the 1933 first release posters were either used up or thrown away at that time.
