Artist: Walter Bjorne
Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one from the first 1956 release of this movie in Sweden in all our years of auctioning! Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: good. The poster has creases, defects, areas of paper loss and tears of varying lengths along parts of some edges (the paper loss is mostly at lower left) and there are some torn pinholes around the edges as well due to rough removal. Several tears are repaired with clear tape from the back. It is otherwise "mostly all there" and after proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
