The Strangest Story You Ever Tried To Get Out Of Your Dreams!"; "Pretty Girl - Black Beast - They're One!"; "Written by DeWitt Bodeen"; produced by Val Lewton) starring Simone Simon, Kent Smith, Tom Conway, Jane Randolph, Jack Holt, and Mary Halsey. Note that when this movie was first announced by RKO Pictures in 1942, it was called "The Cat People" in the first trade ads, but it was released simply as "Cat People". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The entire window card has darkened, more so around the edges. There was a 5" semi-circular tear in the bottom center of the card and a 3" tear in the middle of the right of the card and some faint scuffs scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone simply mounted the card as it is to a linen backing, and did no restoration. If I owned this card, I would either have someone solely trim off the excess linen (which has acquired some brown stains over the years), or I would have it removed from the linen and paperbacked.
