If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is a teaser one-sheet (it had "TEASER" stamped on the back of the poster). This teaser poster is especially desirable, due to its surprising graphic gruesome image and tagline (quite surprising for 1958)!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and minor wear on the foldlines. It had some creases and smudges scattered in the image, including in Hayward's face and figure. It had a pinhole in each corner. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. A talented restorer backed the poster well, but you can see slight signs of the restoration in the image area.
