If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that a theater that was showing a re-release of this movie (likely in the 1950s or early 1960s) and didn't have a poster for display, so this poster was created by hand to advertise the film! 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 to very good. The poster was hand-painted (pretty carefully!) and it has a few tiny pinholes around the edges. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
