Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this French poster, which is a "country of origin" poster for this French movie! Also 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! What IS linenbacking?

The poster had small paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on parts of some folds, with some smudges and scuffs in the bottom credits area.
