Carrol Naish. Note that Errol Flynn had had a few bit parts prior to this movie, but Robert Donat dropped out of this movie at the last minute, and Warner Bros. decided that Flynn was ready for stardom, and they sure were right! 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 we have only previously auctioned two examples of this re-release Australian daybill, and only one in the last 16 years, and that example sold for $625! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has light water staining on the back of the middle right, extending over much of De Havilland's image, but fortunately, it is almost unnoticeable from the front, except that the poster is lightly rippled and in the top and bottom of the stain in the right blank border. Otherwise, the poster is in nice condition. It could be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or after a simple linenbacking, it will look great, and the light water staining can almost certainly be removed chemically, so no paint restoration would be needed.
