If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this Italian poster! Note that this was a World War II prisoner of war movie that was similar to The Great Escape, except that it was based on a real life escape in Japan. When the movie was re-released in Italy in 1960, the artist deceptively drew an image of a sexy woman with a Nazi officer, which in no way relates to the movie, and they switched the billing as well, so as to completely mislead viewers as to what they were about to see!
