If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster may be a Humphrey Bogart "stock" poster, designed so that the specific film could be added to the large white box. Sometimes the studio would overprint the stock poster with the title of a specific movie, and sometimes they sent a series of large paper snipes with the titles of specific entries of the series, so the theater could paste in each snipe as needed, thus getting many posters for the price of one. Note also that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 28 3/4" x 38" [73 x 97 cm]. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: fair to good. The poster has been trimmed around the edges. It has discoloration scattered in various areas but there is a large area of significant discoloration at lower left with some remnants of a snipe and there is some paper loss in that area. After proper restoration the poster could display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
