It was remade in 1936 as "I Married a Doctor", with Pat O'Brien and Josephine Hutchinson.

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a heavy paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. What IS paperbacking?

Prior to paperbacking, the window card was folded across the middle and had rough creases along that fold and 1" below it. It had a few other creases and small tears around the edges. Overall, the window card was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The window card was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
