Artist: Georges Allard

Important Added Info: Note that there is a tiny "7/59 Depot legal 59/3" with "25765" after the Depot legal after the printer information at the bottom of the poster. This means that this poster is a 1959 first release poster (it officially opened in November 1958, but that was probably at a festival, perhaps the Cannes Film Festival).

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good to fine. The poster had very tiny paper loss at some crossfolds and minor fold and border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that the restorer left a tiny bit of excess linen around all four sides of the poster (they left a small border in order to protect the poster from handling damage, but they did not leave a larger border, to allow it to more easily fit in a frame).
