Note that MGM normally made two different styles of one-sheets for each of their movies from the mid 1930s to the mid 1940s, and they were normally labeled style C and style D. For unknown reasons, there are four different first release one-sheets for this movie, and two of them are labeled style C and style D, and another one has "1SHT.BLOCK" stamped on the back, and the fourth one has "1SHT. SPECIAL" stamped on the back, and we are not sure why they made these two additional one-sheets. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

We have never auctioned one with this design in all our years of auctioning (and the other style was auctioned only once in 2007!). Condition: fair to good. The poster was never folded. It has creases, defects, areas of paper loss and tears of varying lengths along parts of the edges. There are creases, smudges, scuffs and areas of slight discoloration around the edges as well, with some smudges and light scuffs within the image. Someone backed the tears and defects with many pieces of tape and performed some amateur restoration to some tears (at right, and the blank borders at lower left are missing and are restored with white tape). It is otherwise "mostly all there" and after proper restoration the very rare poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
