If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this military one-sheet is one we have never had before. Not only does it have an excellent image that is completely different from the regular one-sheet, but it also has a fun tagline, "GREAT FUN for the FAMILY!" Military one-sheets were printed at the same time as the regular U.S. one-sheets when the movie was first released. They were made to be used on U.S. military installations. Sometimes the poster has small writing at the bottom that says "For Distribution and Use at U.S. Military Establishments Only", and sometimes they just have "Litho in U.S.A." or "Printed in U.S.A." in small letters in the lower right (most often, the ones that were used in the 1950s in the Korean War have "Litho in U.S.A.", and the ones that were used in the 1960s in the Vietnam War have "Printed in U.S.A.). This is one of the posters that says "For Distribution and Use at U.S. Military Establishments Only". What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had black writing on the back of much of the poster where it was used to advertise another movie. It otherwise had minor fold and border wear. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. It is fortunate that the writing from the back does not bleed through to the front at all (I only noticed it when I held the poster to a strong light), and the poster displays really well!
