His mission is deadlier than that of the enemy in the sky. Her beauty is a dangerous weapon of war!"; "A single night... A lifetime of adventure!"; "What mysterious errand made this woman spurn the safety of air-shelters? What sinister mission made this man ignore death from a midnight sky?

Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare trade ad that we have never auctioned before! It is a great two-page trade ad taken out of a Today's Cinema English trade magazine. Studios would run these elaborate 2-page ads in issues of this magazine, and they often had images not found on any of the regular movie posters (either English or U.S.). This 2-page trade ad was removed from a 1940 issue of this magazine, and it will look incredible displayed on the new owner's wall. The back of those two pages have text or ads for other movies from that time, and we have not pictured those back pages because the primary interest to bidders is the great two-page color ad, which measures 17 1/4" x 22 1/4". Condition: good to very good. The ad has some creases and scuff marks scattered in various areas (see our image). There are some pairs of staple holes with slight discoloration along portions of the spine. Learn More about condition grades
