If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that Paramount re-released both of these classic movies in 1965, but it appears that only in England they were released as a double bill, because we have not seen a double bill poster from any other country. Also note that this poster measures 30" x 40", and it was made with thin left and right borders that give the illusion that it might have been trimmed, but it definitely has not been trimmed!
