If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Actor Carl Mohner originally was in the movie, but his scenes were deleted just prior to release. Since the posters had already been printed, someone taped over Mr. Mohner's credit on each poster and lobby card, one by one! Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
