If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have been told that the artist behind this poster is likely Mario Zamparelli, who created many posters for RKO in the 1950s. However, while the poster resembles his style, we cannot be certain. If anyone has definitive proof of who the artist is, please e-mail us.

Also note that this movie was originally in 3-D. The studios created both 3D and 2D posters and lobby cards (the 2-D posters and lobby cards were for theaters that lacked the 3-D equipment). This poster is from the "2-D" release.
