Note that this movie opened in August of 1948, and apparently did not do too well on its first release. In 1949, it was re-titled "The Scar", and a very similar one-sheet was created, with the second title, but there are other slight differences between the two one-sheets as well. In the past, we have always seen the posters from "The Scar" called alternate releases, and we know that there was a 1949 re-packaging of the movie under the new title (and there may have been edits to the film, but we know that the movie WAS released under both titles in 1948 as well). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
