NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that there is an oddity with this insert from this classic movie. For unknown reasons, it was created in two versions, one with a solid white background and one with a solid light yellow background, with slightly different placement of the central image and the credits. It is possible that one was printed first, and then someone in the studio thought it could be improved, so they had it changed, but if so, no one knows which one came first! Note that the "white background" style is far more rare than the "yellow background" style, and that this auction is for the "white background" style. Also note that this poster has been paperbacked.

It had many light horizontal creases, likely acquired from being roughly handled while it was rolled. There were pinholes, tears, smudges, and tiny paper loss around the edges, with some faint smudges and scuffs scattered through the image. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer chose to paint over the entire white background areas, to "even them out". The poster displays well, but you can tell that the background areas have had paint restoration. Learn More about condition grades
