If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this film was "illegally" re-released in 1950 by Howard G. Underwood. Underwood removed the Universal studio credit from the film, added his own name as producer, and even added a 1950 "copyright". Universal sued, and in 1952, three prints of the film from Underwood's garage were seized. However, the film had been doing very well at the box-office, which may have influenced Colorama to legally re-release the film in 1958. Condition: good to very good.
