If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that we believe that this poster is from a 1940s roadshow re-release of this 1938 movie (these kinds of movies were often shown in small towns in late night or midnight shows on the weekend for one week only). If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this item contains some nudity, so we have placed a white bar over those areas for those who are bothered by such images. Of course, the actual item does not have the white bars.
