Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this 1949 re-release one-sheet, and the last one was 10 years ago! Not many people can afford the multi-thousand dollar original one-sheet from this classic movie, but this re-release one-sheet has a different image that includes the classic scene of James Stewart deceived by the false telegrams as Claude Rains watches, and is a very attractive alternative, because it will cost a fraction as much as the original!
