She is the starlet who wanted the doctor to listen to her heart when she sprained an ankle! She is the lady doctor who offered the other doctors therapy while she offered the patient love!"; "By arrangement with Richard Gordon author of the Doctor books") starring Dirk Bogarde, Samantha Eggar, James Robertson Justice, Donald Houston, Barbara Murray, Dennis Price, and Mylene Demongeot (billed as "Guest Star Mylene Demongeot")

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that in the 1930s and 1940s, movie studios made silk burgees (also called silk banners) for most major releases. These were printed on a silk (or silk-like) material, with a blue fringe at the bottom, and usually with an opening at the top through which a wooden pole could be inserted, usually with a rope attached to both ends of the pole, so that the burgee could be hung from a nail at the theater. Few silk burgees are known to survive, and many collectors are not even aware of their existence!

Condition: good to very good. The banner once had a wooden pole that was inserted at the top, but that is missing (although a replacement could easily be made). There are a couple of tiny circular holes in the background area above the rating and a few scattered faint stains. There are many creases where the banner was stored folded for many years, but it could likely be flattened or ironed.
