Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare daybill. We have never auctioned any daybills for this movie in all our years of auctioning! Also, note that this poster is from a later printing run. Due to the success of the movie and how films were distributed in Australia, additional posters were printed in the mid-to-late 1940s which featured less color and a slightly different design than the 1943 first release poster. Though it could be considered to be part of the continuous first release, we feel it is safest to call this a 1940s re-release poster even though there wasn't an "official" studio re-release. Please keep this in mind when bidding. Condition: very good. There are small pieces of tape in the left corners and one in the top border. There is tiny paper loss near the middle of the left blank border. Otherwise this incredibly rare daybill is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
