Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this first release three-sheet. One was 30 years ago, which sold for $1,955. The other was three months ago, and that poster was in much lesser condition, but clearly better than this current example, and it sold for $277. These two much lesser condition examples were found at the same time, and our consignor has no more. After this is sold, it may be many years before we auction an example of this poster again. Also note that this three-sheet was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Also note that the theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces). Condition: poor to fair. The theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces). The poster is very fragile and there are tears and areas of paper loss across the horizontal fold that goes through the top of the title and some on other folds, and also there are a few piece of tape on the back. Obviously, this extremely rare poster can be restored, but bear in mind its defects and look at our super-sized image before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
