Note that MGM was worried about how well this movie would do at the box office, and they did something we don't remember seeing on any other major movie advertising! One of the taglines says "Biggest sensation since Snow White", which means MGM was advertising a Walt Disney movie, but that shows just how worried they were! Of course, they needn't have worried, because this was a timeless classic that has only improved with age. 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 the poster says "A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer 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 1958 re-release of this movie, and is NOT a "reprint"! Also note that the poster is undated, but it has a litho number, and by comparing the litho number to our massive database of verified litho numbers, we can determine that this poster is almost certainly from 1958.
