Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card was printed in the United States for use at theaters with Spanish speaking audiences (this was done most by MGM, starting in the 1930s, but it was done by the other major studios as well, and often the posters would have the exact same image as the English language poster, except the writing would be in Spanish, and on posters from the 1930s and 1940s there would be an added "Toda en Espanol!", meaning "Entirely in Spanish!", printed within the image). Sometimes posters from the 1960s or later will have the word "SPANISH" printed in the bottom border (or sometimes stamped on the back of the poster). Condition: good. There are two long vertical creases at upper left. There are pinholes in the corners, with paper loss in the top left blank corner. There are some faint smudges around the edges and dot stains above the first word of the title. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
