Artist: Reynold Brown Important Added Info: Note that this window card has been trimmed and it now measures 13 3/4" x 17 1/2". This card is made by the Benton Card Company which is a different company than the one that printed most of the window cards at that time. The Benton Card Company made mostly two-color window cards that used blown up newspaper ads. They sold their window cards cheaper than the regular ones, so many theaters used them. In the 1970s, someone bought the company and made reprints of earlier titles, but those are clearly marked. The window card offered here is from the original release of this movie! Condition: very good. The window card originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this was commonly done with window cards, when the top had been left blank, or when someone had hand-scrawled play date information in that area). Most collectors do not consider it to be a significant defect at all, since only blank white paper is lost, and the window card becomes easier to frame. Learn More about condition grades
