Note that there was a 1925 silent version of this musical (a neat trick!) directed by Erich Von Stroheim, and a 1952 version starring Fernando Lamas and a non-singing Lana Turner (whose singing voice was dubbed)! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
