We can't be 100% certain, but we believe that this movie did not first play in Italy until right after World War II (either in 1945 or 1946), and it seems extremely likely that this poster is from the first Italian release, and very soon after World War II. Please do not bid unless you can accept this uncertainty as to whether it is first release, and if anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
