Note that MGM normally made two different styles of one-sheets for each of their movies from the mid 1930s to the mid 1940s, and they were normally labeled style C and style D. For unknown reasons, there are four different first release one-sheets for this movie, and two of them are labeled style C and style D, and another one has "1SHT.BLOCK" stamped on the back, and the fourth one has "1SHT. SPECIAL" stamped on the back, and we are not sure why they made these two additional one-sheets. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Glass slides were designed to be put in a special projector that would project the image onto a movie screen (they use exactly the same concept as 35mm slides). We have taken a digital photo of each that shows the general condition of the overall slide and holder, and we have also made a digital scan that shows the glass image well, but does not show the holder (except as a dark outline). Condition: good. There is an unfortunate scratch and tiny area of image loss at the bottom right of Crawford's eye, and there are stains in the cardboard holder. Learn More about condition grades
