If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: A noted expert on Australian daybills tells us that this daybill has not been trimmed. It was printed by Simmons Limited who printed daybills for RKO in the '40s and into the '50s. RKO daybills at this time were printed without borders and although this is a Warner Brothers picture the printer printed it in the RKO style without borders. It's not known if this is for the original release or for a later reissue during the '40s. If anyone knows for sure, please let us know and we will post it here. Condition: very good. There is a smudge in the title area at lower right and there are some light brown stains in the white background in the upper right corner. The poster was oddly folded at one time resulting in a light extra horizontal fold at center as well as some creases at the left of the bottom horizontal fold and some minor creases throughout. There is a small amount of paper loss in the middle of the left edge of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
