Important Added Info: Note that first release large posters from this movie are extremely rare. We have never before auctioned a three-sheet from this movie before we were consigned this poster, and we have also never auctioned a six-sheet!

Also note that this three-sheet was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap.

Condition: very good. There is some darkening on the back of the part of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded, but it has little effect on the front, and otherwise, the poster is in nice condition.
