Note that IMDb says that Isabel Jewell, who received fifth billing on the posters, had all of her scenes deleted! 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 the card measures very slightly under 14" x 22" (an extremely tiny amount in each direction!) and has no left, right, or bottom blank borders, but it has NOT been trimmed (this was done at a time when MGM was experimenting with having as few borders as possible). Condition: good. The card had smudges, stains, and tears around the edges, with two longer tears near the middle left and middle right. It had some areas of paper loss in the top blank area and small paper loss in the bottom right background by the MGM credit. It had stains in the top blank area and some creases and smudges scattered in the image. Some restorer performed restoration to the card without backing it, filling in the paper loss with pieces from another card, but otherwise leaving the card mostly alone. Obviously, one could live with it as it is, or one might choose to have additional restoration performed. Learn More about condition grades
