Important Added Info: Note that half-sheets on this classic Val Lewton movie are far more rare than the one-sheets or inserts, for unknown reasons. We have only previously auctioned two examples of this half-sheet, and the last one was 11 years ago, when it sold for $444! It is also interesting that this style A half-sheet has a completely different image from that of the title card! Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has creases and tears of varying lengths (generally 1" or less but some are larger) along portions of some edges (partially repaired with tape from the back at right). There are creases, smudges and scuff scattered in various areas (see our image), slightly more so at right and around the edges. It is otherwise in generally nice condition and after some proper restoration the ultra rare poster will display well. Learn More about condition grades
