Artist: Ercole Brini Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare "country of origin" poster for this partially Italian movie! Note that when this movie first came out in 1966, the original poster campaign had a photographic image, but when the movie became a major sensation, new posters were created with a striking image by Ercole Brini. Since the movie was never out of release during that time, the 1967 posters are not generally considered "re-releases", but they ARE from 1967 (although there are no similar posters from 1966, only photographic posters which are extremely rare). Also note that this Italian two-panel poster was printed in 2 sections (designed to overlap) and when combined, the poster measures 55" x 78". Condition: very good. There are some horizontal tears on the part of the foldline that was on the outside when the poster was fully folded and some slight darkening on the borders that were on the outside when the poster was fully folded, but otherwise, the poster is in pretty nice condition!
