Russell Janney's The Miracle of the Bells, the 1948 Irving Pichel rise-and-fall-of-a-Hollywood-star melodrama ("A picture to make the whole world happy!"; "Screen Play by Ben Hecht and Quentin Reynolds"; based on the novel by Russell Janney; about an actress who dies before her first movie is released, and the cynical agent who labors mightily to see that the movie is still released, aided by the kindly local priest, oddly played by Frank Sinatra!) starring Fred MacMurray, Alida Valli (billed as "Valli"; best remembered as the female lead of The Third Man), Frank Sinatra, Lee J. Cobb, Harold Vermilyea, Charles Meredith, and Philip Ahn

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this poster has full-bleed borders on the left and right and has NOT been trimmed. This was done by RKO with their daybills in the 1940s and early 1950s. Advanced Australian collectors tell us that this is how all the daybills of this title were created. Please do not bid on this daybill thinking that it has been trimmed as it certainly was not.

Condition: good to very good. There are some 1" and smaller tears around the edges of the poster. The poster was folded in half an extra time resulting in an extra horizontal fold at top, middle, and bottom. The poster is otherwise in generally nice condition.
