Important Added Info: Note that this poster measures 27" x 40 1/2" [69 x 103 cm], and in the past, we had been told that it was a "studio re-strike" that was made later in the 1990s, and indeed, there IS a re-strike that measures 27" x 40 1/2". However, THIS poster is not a re-strike! Even though it looks very similar to the re-strike, the paper is slightly "older" and the poster is folded. How to explain it? The posters we have seen like this were printed by Warner Bros. and we know that they were distributed to Canada in 1980 (we have seen one that has a Canadian poster exchange stamp, and a 1980 NSS stamp on the back, and that one had tape on the front of the rating box, all verifying that one WAS used in Canada in 1980!) We believe that this means that this poster was made by Warner Bros. in 1980 and was used at least in Canadian poster exchanges, and then, when someone made the studio re-strike in the 1990s, they used the plates from this studio-printed poster, and not the poster printed by the NSS, which measures 27" x 41".

Condition: good. The poster has much rippling with some discoloration mostly along the center horizontal fold and upper and lower edges. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid and please do not bid unless you can accept the defects described above, or you are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
