It may have been a special style of poster made for this undated re-release, it may be a special pressbook insert, or it may have been made for some other purpose, and it is also possible it was made in the 1960s. If anyone knows for certain, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Please do not bid unless you know you will be happy to own this poster regardless of when it dates to! What IS linenbacking?
