Artist: Ercole Brini Important Added Info: Note that when this movie first came out, the original poster campaign had a photographic image, but when the movie became a major sensation, new posters were created with this striking image by Ercole Brini. Since the movie was never out of release during that time, most collectors do not consider the artwork poster a re-release, but this photographic poster pre-dates this release. Also note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this partially Italian movie! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good to fine. The poster had tiny punch holes that formed five numbers in the middle right of the poster, in the solid red area (this is typical of Italian posters from this period). It had the same punch holes reversed in the middle left of the poster, in the red area. Otherwise, the poster had pretty 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! Learn More about condition grades
