A color poster for *A Gentleman After Dark* names three stars, Brian Donlevy, Miriam Hopkins, and Preston Foster, in its subject headings. The film was a 1942 Hollywood production, so the poster's catalog date of 1948 likely reflects a later printing or reissue rather than the original release. Hopkins, a stage-trained actress who worked on both Broadway and in films, had built a career on sophisticated comedy and drama by then, and the pairing of her with two leading men shows how studios marketed such films to wartime audiences. The small size of the poster, about 28 by 35.5 centimeters, suggests it was made for lobby or window display.
