RKO had ceased to exist at the time this movie was finally released, and Universal probably re-used old printing plates, and put their logo at the bottom, covering over the old one which explains why materials on this movie have both studios printed on them!

The poster's top play dates area and the bottom border were both very slightly trimmed. The poster was folded once in each direction and there was minor wear on both folds. There was a 2" crease in the middle of the right border, just below the right end of the horizontal fold, and some pinholes around the edges, with some near the middle of the image in the background area. 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. Learn More about condition grades
