If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that an expert on Italian posters tells us that this classic anti-war movie played at the Venice Film Festival in Italy in 1937, but that it did not receive a general release in Italy at that time. It was not first released in Italy until after World War II (likely in 1946), which was the time when many Italian posters were made in unusual sizes like this one. Therefore, this poster is from the first Italian release (likely in 1946), and is not from 1937. Condition: good to very good. The poster has creases, defects, areas of paper loss and tears of varying lengths along parts of some edges, all of which is visible in our image. Learn More about condition grades
