Boris Grinsson's design on this poster is one of the best looking Bogart posters for any of his films.
Exceptionally rare French poster, which has only surfaced a few times.
This film was released in America in 1942. Owing to World War II, it was not shown in France until 1949, by which time Humphrey Bogart was already a huge star, having made several major films since Casablanca.
