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 we have only previously auctioned one example of this style B one-sheet, and that was 7 years ago! What is especially unusual about this poster is that it is basically a "teaser" poster, from long before the time when studios routinely created such "teaser" posters! It is clearly marked "1-B", but it only has a full wonderful image of Claudette Colbert with her name and the title, while the style A poster has full credits. What IS linenbacking?
