If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that the poster says "AN MGM MASTERPIECE REPRINT" in the bottom center. This was a terminology used by MGM at this time for some re-releases, and it has caused some collectors to be confused! This poster is the original poster from the 1957 re-release of this movie, and is NOT a "reprint"!
