If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare "country of origin" poster for this English movie! We have never auctioned one (or ANY English movie paper for this title) in all our years of auctioning!

Condition: fair to good. The poster is in lesser condition. There are several defects scattered along the borders and foldlines/crossfolds, and there are one or more areas of significant foldline and/or crossfold separation. The entire upper vertical foldline has separated and there is horizontal separation at the top crossfold. There is a censor stamp at upper center and the folds have darkened (especially the vertical foldline). 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.
