Important Added Info: Note that, as noted above, it is really difficult to know when this item is from. Because we have seen heralds, one-sheets, and window cards that have a month and day on them that corresponds to either 1938 or 1944, we think it is quite likely that this item is from one of those years, more likely 1938. But that is just a guess. If anyone knows more about the date of this item, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this poster came from a collection of expliotation posters from the 1920s to 1970s, including sexpliotation films, strip-tease films, and films with all-black casts. Such posters are far more rare than mainstream posters of the same years! This is because such films only played in a very limited number of theaters. Few posters were made and very few survive (especially from films from before 1970). Condition: very good to fine. There is a 1/2" tear in the lower right blank border. Note that the image below shows both the front and back of the poster (there is entirely different text and images on both sides!). Learn More about condition grades
