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 to very good. There is a 2" tear in the left of the top edge of the poster (repaired with brown paper tape from the back) and there are a few smaller tears scattered around the edges. There are stains in the tagline area at upper left. There are smudges and minor creases scattered throughout the poster. Learn More about condition grades
