If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that there is an oddity to the first release one-sheet for this movie. There are two versions of it that are exactly the same in every respect, EXCEPT that one version has a light blue background and the other has a black background. Over the years, we have auctioned far more of the blue background one-sheets than the black background ones. That would lead us to guess that it was originally printed with a black background and that someone at the studio decided to change it, but that some of the black ones were used. But it is also just as possible that the first printing was the blue one-sheets, and that the movie was successful enough to require additional one-sheets, so they printed some new ones and changed the background, but they printed less because it was nearing the end of its run. No one seems to know if one poster predates the other. The black background version has sold for higher dollars than the blue, but that might solely be because of its greater rarity. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair. The poster had creases, small tears, and areas of paper loss on parts of most folds and around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. The person who restored the poster did something very unusual. The green area below the title was originally white, but they decided to "improve" the poster by painting that area green, and they painted the Earth at left yellow! Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its very unusual restoration.
