Artist: Richardson Studio
Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned one in all our years of auctioning and that was a decade ago (and we have sold NO other Australian movie paper for it whatsoever!)! Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: good to very good. The poster has tears, faint staining and a few small bits of paper loss around the edges with fairly slight wear on the folds. After a relatively linenbacking this rare poster will display really well!
