If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that oddly, we have previously auctioned an English six-sheet and three-sheet, but we have never before auctioned English one-sheet (which is a "country of origin" poster for this English movie)! Condition: good to very good. Something was taped to the back of the poster in the lower center of the image, and it bled through to the front in the bottom of the "window" (it is a thin line at the bottom; see our image). Otherwise, the poster is in really nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
