If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: This three-sheet was printed in 2 sections (which were combined during the linenbacking process).

Condition: very good to fine. The poster is linenbacked; prior to restoration the poster had minor fold and border wear; there were some light smudges in the yellow background area at top left and some smudges to the left of the "T" of "THE" in the title; there were some smudges in the white background of the bottom credits box. The person who linenbacked the poster pretty much left it just as it is, as the poster was in excellent condition aside from what is mentioned above. I don't find these minor defects distracting, but if anyone does, a restorer could touch those areas up without re-backing the poster.
