Note that Judy Holliday had created the role of Billie Dawn in the original Broadway version of this play. Harry Cohn paid $1,000,000 for the rights to the play, and he did not want Holliday to play the part, because he thought she was not well enough known and too "ethnic". All of Columbia's top actresses, including Rita Hayworth, were considered for the role before they finally went back to Holliday, which is ironic, since she won the Oscar for Best Actress!

The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects, and the restorer did not address the darkening.
