Artist: Zeineddine Important Added Info: Note that in the past two years, we at eMoviePoster.com were consigned hand painted billboard sized Lebanese posters that apparently hung on the walls at Lebanese showings of classic movies! Most of those measured around 6 feet by 12 feet, and each was a one of a kind poster, painted by a specific Lebanese artist, "Zeineddine". We have been told that this specific poster was used between 10 and 25 years ago at a showing of this movie in Lebanon, but it is possible it was used more recently than that. The above is all the information we have about this poster, so please do not bid unless you can accept these uncertainties as to exactly when it was created and how it was used. Also note that we are currently auctioning three other similar hand-painted Lebanese posters. Condition: good. The poster was created in 8 sections and some of them are glued together.
