If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this Dutch poster! Also note that this movie was released in 1947 through the MPEA, which distributed movies in Germany, Japan, and Austria right after World War II until 1950 (a lot of the people who went to those movies were U.S. servicemen stationed in those countries). However, until we received this poster, we did not realize that Holland was another one of the countries that had posters with the MPEA logo on them! Surely this is because there were enough servicemen there to warrant special releases for them as well. What IS linenbacking?
