Note that the U.S. posters for this movie have a 1961 NSS number on them, but the movie did not open in the U.S. until May of 1962. We imagine that this delay was caused by the controversy over the movie. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that most 40x60s from this period were only sent to theaters rolled. This poster was folded like a U.S. one-sheet, but it was clearly machine folded (which makes it seem certain that it was done at the exchange, and that all examples of this poster would be folded, but we have never seen another example of this poster, either folded or unfolded). Also note that the film distributor "Astor Pictures" primarily distributed re-releases of major studios in the late 1940s and 1950s, but they WERE the first U.S. distributor on a few non-U.S., including this one. This is the from the first U.S. release of this movie, and it NOT a re-release! Condition: very good. There are pinholes in the corners and some smudges around the edges, with a few smudges scattered in the image. There is darkening on the back of the portion of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded, but it has little effect on the front. Learn More about condition grades
