Zanuck in charge of production"; "Based on a story by Cesare Zavattini and Giaci Mondaini"; about a wacky millionaire who is about to commit suicide, but saves a tramp from committing suicide instead, and then switches clothing with him, spreading the word that he will give a million dollars to the first person who is kind to him, even though he is in tramp clothing, and so people all over that area start treating ALL homeless people with respect, hoping to find the disguised millionaire, and he ends up marrying a circus performer, and donating the money to the entire community) starring Warner Baxter, Marjorie Weaver, Peter Lorre, Jean Hersholt, John Carradine, J. Edward Bromberg, Lynn Bari, and Fritz Feld.

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 item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. Some of these items can ONLY be sent in flat packages, and could not possibly be rolled into a tube. On some of them (for example if it is a size that might ordinarily be rolled in a tube, like a half-sheet), the reason it is in this auction is specifically because we feel it either CAN'T be rolled or because we feel it would be a mistake to roll it, because it might well damage the item. In the case of the few items that could be rolled, we will roll the item in a tube if the new owner insists, but only if they accept that they can't return the item if it is damaged from being rolled. So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. Condition: good to very good. The poster has some faint stains and faint smudges around the edges with a few tears of varying lengths at upper and lower right. Otherwise, the poster is in pretty nice condition, especially considering its age and size! Learn More about condition grades
