NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Joseph Koutachy Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare pre-World War II French poster! Virtually no French posters survive from before, during, or right after World War II (mostly only pre-war heavy stock lobby cards, and even those are rare). Apparently there were many paper shortages in France during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all pre-World War II posters. We have NEVER auctioned ANY French movie paper for this film in all of our years of auctioning! 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: very good. The poster had a few small brown stains in the upper left border and in the lower right background area, with a very few in the rest of the poster. It has a tiny pinhole in each corner and the most minor of border wear. Learn More about condition grades
