Betty Smith's A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, the classic 1945 Elia Kazan (in his directorial debut!) New York City dysfunctional-family-with-alcoholic-father-who-can't-keep-a-job family relationship melodrama ("Adapted from the Novel by Betty Smith") starring Dorothy McGuire ("as Katie"), Joan Blondell ("as Aunt Sissy"), James Dunn (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; "as Johnny"), Lloyd Nolan ("as McShane"), Peggy Ann Garner ("as Francie", a role which garnered an honorary Academy Award for her performance), Ted Donaldson ("as Neely"), James Gleason, Ruth Nelson, John Alexander, and B.S.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have never seen this style B one-sheet before. Unlike the style A, which has six headshots of the stars, this poster entirely focuses on Betty Smith's best-selling book (no doubt all its readers felt they had to see the movie, to see how Hollywood adapted it).

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had paper loss at the top two crossfolds and extra creases and some tiny bits of paper loss in the top horizontal fold and in the vertical fold between the top and middle crossfolds, with a lesser amount of wear on the other folds, and pinholes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
