Carrol Naish, Robert 'Bobby' Blake, Joan Chandler, and Ruth Nelson 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, immediately after World War II, the U.S. occupied Japan and part of Germany, and many American movies were shown in both countries between 1945 and the end of the occupation. Most of the Japanese posters we have seen from that period and many of the German posters and programs from the same period have a "Motion Picture Export Association" circular printed logo on the poster or program, and apparently this was a program run in conjunction with the U.S. government. Since there were many U.S. servicemen in Japan and Germany at this time, many of these posters and programs have the title written in both Japanese (or German) and in English, and they are from the first release of that movie in that country. Condition: good to very good. The poster has light slightly diagonal horizontal creases running across the stars' faces. It also has brown dot stains on the back of the lower left of the poster, and a few show through to the front in Crawford's cheek and chin. Otherwise, the poster is in pretty nice condition!
