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 insert 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 insert posters (note that most post-1970 inserts were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those inserts). Condition: good. The poster has two long faint drip stains running down the middle left and middle right of the image. One runs between Clift's and Taylor's face, slightly affecting both of their faces, and one that runs down the left of Winters' face. There are smudges and scuffs scattered in the bottom inset area. There are some tears and a few pinholes around the edges. There are smudges scattered in the yellow background area, and some creases and a few smudges scattered in the top red background area. This poster has the sort of defects that respond really well to expert restoration. It is likely that many of the stains and scuffs can be partially or completely removed chemically, and after restoration, the poster will look great. But please bear in mind its significant defects and the cost of restoration before placing a bid on it. Learn More about condition grades
