If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that, as noted above, 8th-billed Marilyn Monroe had a small part in this classic melodrama. But the person who designed the posters wisely used her face on the one-sheet image, and for this insert, chose to include a full image of her (from her key scene) at the bottom of the poster! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was backed onto a fairly stiff heavyweight paper backing, we would MUCH prefer to send it in a large flat package rather than attempting to roll it in a tube, so bear that extra expense in mind before placing a bid on this poster.

Prior to paperbacking, the poster was folded extra times, resulting in a total of eight pretty evenly spaced horizontal folds. There was pretty minor wear on the folds and some smudges in the white background areas, with some pinholes, tears, and tiny paper loss in the top and bottom borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
