Note that director Lewis Seiler had an interesting background! Starting in 1923, he directed a series of around a dozen movies for William Fox, each using chimps acting in "human" roles. After that, he stayed with William Fox and worked on some of the Tom Mix movies, and then switched to Warner Bros., and was involved in some of their gangster movies, like Crime School. In 1943, he directed this movie, which is widely considered one of the very best Hollywood movies about World War II, made during the war! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

The poster had paper loss at the top and bottom crossfolds and it had an extra horizontal fold at a slight diagonal next to the top horizontal fold. It had tears and small areas of paper loss on parts of several folds, with stains, tears, and areas of paper loss around the edges, and some tears in the image that were not on the folds. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
