If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good. There is a Canadian censor stamp at lower left and there are remnants of white censor paint over all of the taglines across the top of the inset images. The poster is otherwise in generally nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
