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

Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this 1952 first release Italian one-panel! Because the movie was released in Italy after it had won lots of Academy Awards, the poster designer added Oscar statuettes to the left and right, which is a nice added touch!
