Note that the U.S. posters for this movie have a 1961 NSS number on them, but the movie did not open in the U.S. until May of 1962. We imagine that this delay was caused by the controversy over the movie. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this classic Michael Powell movie received a first U.S. release from Astor pictures in 1961 (this poster has a 1961 NSS number handwritten on the back). Material from this first U.S. release is extremely rare (oddly, certainly far more rare than that of the original English release!). Condition: good to very good. There is a 2 1/2" tear in the upper left edge of the poster extending into the red background that has been repaired with a piece of clear acid free conservation tape from the back. There are pairs of staple holes scattered throughout the poster including a pair in the woman's chest at left and her arm at center and there are some small tears and areas of paper loss in the borders and background around the edges of the poster from rough removal of the staples. There are minor creases and smudges scattered throughout the poster, but they are not very noticeable or distracting. Learn More about condition grades
