Note that this movie was made immediately after France was liberated from the Nazis in late 1944, and it premiered in Paris in March of 1945, which makes it all the more remarkable! It did not go into general release in France for an entire year after, in March of 1946. It was then slowly released all over Europe, and it opened in America in November of 1946 and in New York City in February of 1947! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this French one-panel, which is a "country of origin" poster for this French movie! Also note that due to the great length of the movie (over 3 hours!), it only showed as a single movie when it opened, but was then quickly split into two parts. Part I was called Boulevard of Crime (Boulevard du Crime) and Part II was called The Man in White (L'Homme Blanc). This poster is for Part II, The Man in White. What IS linenbacking?
