Though this poster dates from the later re-release of the classic Gary Cooper film it stands as one of the very rare examples of a re-issue poster being more valuable and desirable than that from the original release. The reason is that the original poster for the film considered at that time by many to be the greatest Hollywood homage to baseball in celluloid history failed to picture its greatest star Babe Ruth. This oversight was corrected for the re-issue probably due in part to the Bambino's passing in 1948. Professionally mounted on linen fine condition.
