Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this first release pre-war Belgian poster, which has a completely different image from any other poster from this movie we have seen (and it shows Huston, Chatterton, and Astor, which is a big plus). First release posters for this classic movie from any country are incredibly rare! Note that this is a rare "pre-War" Belgian poster. Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!).
