Important Added Info: Note that for this insert, Burt Lancaster commissioned famous artist Thomas Hart Benton to produce a painting for the movie, and used it as the centerpiece on this insert, with the tagline, "A Great American Artist Depicts a Great American Motion Picture!". 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 has slight discoloration on back of the center horizontal fold but it has little or no effect on the front. It has some small tears at lower left that have been repaired with tape from the back. After linenbacking it should display well.
