Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare pre-World War II French poster, which is a "country of origin" poster for this French movie, which we have only auctioned twice before! Virtually no French posters survive from before, during, or right after World War II. Apparently there were many paper shortages in France during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all pre-World War II posters! Also note that this French four-panel was printed in 4 sections designed to overlap, and when combined, the poster measures 74 1/2" x 115" [189 x 292 cm]. Finally, note that the theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces). Condition: fair to good. The theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces). There is light staining scattered throughout the poster. It also has some tears and paper loss on folds and borders. After expert restoration, the poster will display well, but bear in mind its significant defects before bidding. Learn More about condition grades
