Artist: S. Neil Fujita Important Added Info: Note that almost all examples of this poster were printed on glossy finish paper, but this poster (and two others that we have sold in the past) is printed on a "flat finish" paper. This same situation existed in 1964, when studios were switching from flat finish posters to glossy finish ones, and there are 1964 posters (like Goldfinger) where they exist in both versions. But we are not sure why this would have been done in 1972. The poster is surely first release, because it is exactly like any other 1972 folded one-sheet and it has the same regular NSS stamp on the back that the "glossy" one-sheets have. We don't know why this was done, but if anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good. The poster has three small black and blue marks in the upper area of the credits box (see our image). It has some minor fold and border wear with a few creases along portions of the center vertical foldline. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays well (and if one chose to have a simple linenbacking performed the rare poster would look fantastic!). Learn More about condition grades
