If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been personally autographed (signed) by Dorothy Lamour! Our consignor purchased this from eMoviePoster.com. Our original consignor had met Miss Lamour at a charity event in the early 1980s. His friend was the stage manager and took him backstage, and she signed this window card (and another one, which we are currently auctioning in a separate auction). As she was signing this poster, our original consignor said to her "It must have been great working with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby". She looked up at him and said "They screwed me out of every dollar they could"! Our original consignor did not have a certificate of authenticity, but we are certain the signature is authentic. Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this window card, and, as noted above, that example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
