Note that this movie was naturally incredibly popular in small towns across America at this time, and in the next few years. Clever promoters would take it into a small town or city and show it for a single weekend (sometimes late night or midnight shows), and they would plaster the town with one-sheets or window cards announcing the event. It is very difficult to note which posters are from the very first release in 1937, and which ones are from the roadshow releases in the years afterwards.

Important Added Info: As noted above, 1937 first release posters from this movie are extremely rare. Prior to 2021 (when we auctioned this poster for the first time), we had only auctioned a first release poster twice before, and those posters both had a different image from this poster. But we think that those two posters and this poster are all first release 1937 posters, and that the many other posters for this movie we have auctioned are from 1940s roadshow releases (as described above). We had never auctioned this poster, which has a completely different image from the other first release style, before 2021. The person who purchased it then has reconsigned it, to it is still the only example we have ever auctioned! Also note that this one-sheet measures 28 1/4" x 40 1/2" [72 x 103 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had paper loss at the crossfolds and much light ink transfer in the letters of the title, and in the light background areas at the bottom (almost surely caused by the poster being wet at one time). Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well restored, but the restorer left alone the faint ink transfer, and it is not very distracting (see our image). One could certainly display this wonderful and rare poster on their wall as it is, or one might choose to have a restorer even out those areas described above, but that will be the choice of the new owner.
