The actual artwork itself on both of these posters is identical. What strikes
me is that for a supposed 1st release poster (the ebay copy), there are no

The second version has production credits at the bottom, but then is
The one sheet from Argentina that's said to be original says that the
production company is Enterprise Films, not RKO---maybe I'm out of the loop,
but I've never heard of Enterprise Films. It would lead me to believe even
the original poster is probably a 40's re-release. As for the one
I just hope that someone didnt get taken for 1200.00, considering that

What I cant figure out is why

same art as the 1952R US poster, so my suggestion is that the poster
