If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have seen places and collectors list this poster as an original 1933 poster, but we disagree with that. For one, it does not have an RKO logo or any releasing studio, which is not something that is done on first release posters from major movies. For another, it has a logo in the bottom right that we only see on early 1940s posters. But we DO think it is almost certainly from the early 1940s, and not from a later year. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking?
