If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is a classic case of a "dead" image (because there is no Tarzan) that later proves to be quite collectible, because it shows Sean Connery in one of his first roles, and where he was fifth billed, so he was likely not pictured on any posters. When Connery became famous a short time later for his James Bond movies, this movie was re-released in Italy and now he was second billed!

Note that it is difficult to accurately date Italian posters, and some unmarked re-release posters can be extremely difficult to distinguish from first releases, so please bear that in mind before you place a bid. We used our best information to date this poster, but we can't always guarantee that the Italian posters we sell are not from an unmarked re-release, but this will only prove to be true in a very tiny number of cases.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was folded across the middle and had many creases, tiny tears, and a few tiny bits of paper loss in that area, with some pinholes, tears, and tiny paper loss in the borders, with some scuffs scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
