If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this Argentinean poster, and that was 15 years ago!

Note that the Argentinean poster designer knew that this movie's primary selling point was Sophia Loren in her see-through shirt, and he put Loren front and center in the poster (and the Argentinean distributors originally titled the movie "The Statue of Flesh" and then went even further, re-titling the movie "The Naked Statue", and added paper snipes to the already printed posters, changing the title!).

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had paper loss at the top crossfold, with some tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of several folds, and pinholes, small tears, and paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in 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.
