Artist: Reynold Brown Important Added Info: Note that this is the very rare one-sheet for the original release of this movie, which was in "TODD-AO". Certainly, very few theaters showed this movie that way and it is likely that few posters were printed with the TODD-AO on it (it is directly below the end of the title), and likely very few survive (they are far more rare than posters from the "general" release that did not have "TODD-AO")! On this particular poster the Todd-AO logo is under a snipe at lower center. Condition: good. There is very light rippling scattered throughout the poster. There is a snipe at lower center (see above). There are some pinholes around the edges. The poster is still colorful and is otherwise "mostly all there" and after proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
