Note that director George Stevens had gotten his start in the late 1920s, and throughout the early 1930s, he directed around 20 comedy shorts for RKO. In 1933, he was finally given the chance to direct a feature, and he was soon regularly directing feature-length comedies (this was his third), but he would really come into his own in the 1940s, and by the 1950s, he was one of the very top Hollywood directors!

The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and minor wear on the foldlines. It had a Dutch stamp in the bottom right corner and pinholes in the corners. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
