Artist: Jacques Bonneaud Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare French poster from during World War II! Virtually no French posters survive from during or right after World War II (mostly only some heavy stock lobby cards, and even those are rare). Apparently there were many paper shortages in France during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all posters from before World War II, and also from during the war, and the first few years afterwards! We have never auctioned NAY French movie paper of any kind from this title! Condition: good. Learn More about condition grades
