Note that this was one of those "inside" Hollywood movies that get made from time to time. The screenwriters are obviously based on Hecht and McArthur, and the studio president is based on Darryl Zanuck! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! Note also that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good. The poster was never folded. There is some darkening throughout the poster as is typical of the "linen" paper used by Warner Bros. during this time period. It has slight rippling scattered in various areas due to exposure to moisture and there are some creases and tiny tears along portions of some edges (partially repaired with tape from the back along portions of the lower edge and right and left edges.) it is otherwise still all "there" and it could be restored and paperbacked and it would look great, but please bear in mind its defects and cost of restoration before placing a bid.
