Important Added Info: Note that this is a great 4-page trade ad taken out of a Kinematograph Weekly English trade magazine (it has a 1-page ad for Wuthering Heights on the cover, a 2-page ad for "Spies in the Air" on the inside 2-page spread, and a 1-page ad for "Stolen Life" on the back, which we did not picture). Studios would run these elaborate ads in issues of this magazine, and they often had images not found on any of the regular movie posters (either English or U.S.). This trade ad was removed from a 1940 issue of this magazine, and it will look great displayed on the new owner's wall. Note that this ad is printed on a thin paper and can be sent in a large flat package or rolled in a tube, depending on what other items the person who wins this auction wins. Condition: good. The ad was removed from a magazine (see above). There is paper loss in the top right corner and tears across the top and bottom of each page. Learn More about condition grades
