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 this Australian one-sheet measures 27 3/4" x 40" [70 x 102 cm]. It is surely not from the first Australian release. An expert on Australian posters tells us that he believes that this movie was not re-released in Australia until the 1970s, so he thinks this is a "second printing" during the extended first release (that they ran out of posters and made new ones.) Condition: good. As can be seen in our image, the poster has pretty significant ink transfer staining throughout (see our image). It has no tears or restoration but please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this very rare poster prior to placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
