We have only auctioned one in all our years of auctioning and that was in 2016 and it sold for $445! Also note that when this movie was released in the U.S., Erich von Stroheim's star was on the decline, and he was third billed, and the advertising had large billing and imagery of Richard Dix, but von Stroheim was far more popular in Europe, and when this movie was first released in Sweden, he was given prominent top billing, with his image above those of the other stars, and poor Richard Dix had moved to fifth billing! Condition: good. The poster has two evenly spaced vertical folds and there is minor wear on the folds. There are small tears in the bottom border with small paper loss in the left of the bottom border. There is a 1 1/2" tear in the upper right border and a 2 1/2" tear in the right of the top border and that has a piece of clear tape on the back.
