It is probably because this extremely popular movie was re-released at least three times in the 1940s and more times in 1950s, and it is likely that poster exchanges used up all of their 1939 posters during those re-releases. We have only auctioned the style A one-sheet one time, and we have never before auctioned this style B one-sheet! What IS linenbacking?
