Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this 40x60, and only one in the last 28 years, and that last one sold for $5,066! That last example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned! Also, note that a knowledgeable collector tells us that while in England when this movie was first released, he saw a standee with this image at a theater (but we doubt any of those have survived)!

It had some creases, smudges, scuffs, and a few tiny stains scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was really expertly backed by a top professional, and this very rare and desirable will display wonderfully on the new owner's wall! Learn More about condition grades
