If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the original release one-sheets for this all-star Universal movie were disappointing. One of the styles does not show any images of the stars, and the other only shows a montage of tiny sepia headshots of all the stars. By the time the movie was re-released by Realart in 1949, the poster designer wisely showed only large images of Orson Welles, Marlene Dietrich, W.C. Fields, George Raft, and Vera Zorina, and put them in color as well! Condition: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some creases, tiny tears, and tiny areas of paper loss on parts of some foldlines. There were a few tears scattered in the image. There were pinholes and small tears around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
