Home Before Dark, the 1958 Mervyn LeRoy psychological troubled-marriage-and-mental-illness romantic melodrama ("It's been a year since you've touched me!"; "In the darkness she thought he was her husband!"; "A pretty girl and the stunning shock that marriage brings her!"; "No story... no drama... no performance this powerful has ever been seen!"; "The book was bold- the picture's bolder!"; "A wife on the rim of insanity... A story motion pictures have never told before... Of a girl's desperate need for her man!"; "'I took advantage. I'm sorry.'"; "The stranger who knew about her..."; "Screenplay by Eileen and Robert Bassing"; based on the novel by Eileen Bassing; about a woman and her very troubled marriage, and her husband's lack of desire for her, and his attraction to her step-sister, and her possible mental illness) starring Jean Simmons ("Jean Simmons becomes the dramatic star of stars in Home Before Dark"), Dan O'Herlihy, Rhonda Fleming, Efrem Zimbalist Jr., and Joanna Barnes

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that an Australian poster expert believes that this could be a second printing poster (created when the supply of first printing posters ran out). There is a very rare orange/black/white version of this daybill. Usually in these cases, the poster with less colors and/or detail is from the second printing. However, the orange daybill features printer information and a printing error in the director credits (it says "Directed by Mervyn LeRoy Directed by"). The full-color daybill offered here lacks a printer and has no printing error which could indicate that it is a corrected second printing. Please keep this uncertainty in mind when bidding.

Condition: good to very good. There are several tiny areas of paper loss along the foldlines and around the edges of the poster.
