Man On the Eiffel Tower is impressive.

The guy is a genius IMO... I don’t collect a lot of prints but I bought 8 of his prints before his alternative movie poster drop... 

The above Australian one sheet poster has the billing of the stars incorrect for the release of this film in Australia in 1942. The original correct billing order is as it appears on the above U.S.A. glass slide. and all other film posters of that time, including the following Australian daybill from 1942. Of interest also is that  John Carradine receives billing on the one sheet, but not a mention of him appears on the Australian daybill.





 

A 1947 Australian newspaper advertisement where Rita Hayworth's name has been elevated, and with no mention now of Linda Darnell. By 1947 Rita Hayworth was as a much bigger star at the box office. The majority of the 1947 ads that I sighted still have Linda Darnell's name appearing as second billing, but there are also some other examples of the elevation of Rita's name found.   

My thoughts are that when the film was re-released in Australia in 1947, the original 1942 one sheet artwork was played with, then used in an altered form.

Autographs are so suspect...  Unless you won it in a contest or Steven was the best man at your wedding, there is just no real good way to authenticate it.  Scammers on eBay make thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars a year selling fakes. 

Not that yours isn't legit...
