Aubrey Smith. Note that the classy English widow was played by Rosalind Russell. She had been signed by MGM the year before, and had played minor roles in several MGM movies. The following year, she got some starring roles, and she would become one of MGM's leading actresses of the 1940s, and one of their most successful actresses during World War II!

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this poster! Also note that this poster has tape repairs on the back (see below), and it would not make sense to roll it, as doing so would surely lessen the condition. Therefore we must be sent in a very large flat package. Please bear that extra shipping cost in mind BEFORE placing a bid on this poster! Condition: very good. The poster had tiny creases and slight separation on all three folds and someone put tape on the back of all three folds (that was surely not necessary, but no doubt it was done a long time ago, and the person didn't want the separations to increase). You can see the slight defects described above in our super-sized image, but otherwise, the poster is in really excellent condition! Learn More about condition grades
