Note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving complete copies are thought to exist. However, a trailer for the film does survive! Also note that this movie included a large number of Russian peasants, and many of them were played by children, and Paramount had to have them schooled during the filming of this movie at the Paramount West Coast School, a similar situation existed with the Our Gang kids and all the other many juveniles who appeared in films at this time.

Important Added Info: Note that while this poster theoretically COULD be rolled in a tube, we would strongly advise against it, because doing so might cause it to become creased or cracked. We will sent it to the new owner in a large flat package, unless they insist on us rolling it (and then it would not be returnable). Condition: good to very good. The poster was printed on a "linen" paper stock (typical of Warner Bros. posters in the late 1930s, but also done rarely by Paramount studios in earlier times). It has smudges, stains, and creases across the top and bottom 3" of the poster, and also down the left 3". The entire poster has light rippling throughout, and some tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss in the blank borders, with staining on the back of the left 6" of the poster. This incredibly striking poster could absolutely be displayed as it is, but it is also certainly true that any talented restorer could likely remove much of the rippling and smudges through chemical means, and afterwards, it will display incredibly!
