A theater needed a half-sheet for this movie, but all they had was a 30x40, so they substantially trimmed it to where it measured almost exactly half-sheet size, and then used it that way! However, since all that is missing is the producer credits from the top and the small actor credits from the bottom, it really still "works" as a poster (although you have the odd extra wide right border, which is how the 30x40 was made). Please do not bid on this unusual trimmed poster unless you can accept that it was a 30x40 that was trimmed to 21 3/4" x 28 1/4". Also note that it has been established that the leg in the iconic image on this item belongs to Linda Gray (who later went on to fame in TV's "Dallas"), and not Anne Bancroft. However, as it is clearly intended to be thought of as Bancroft's leg (Gray was an unbilled body double, or more accurately, "leg double"), we are referring to it as such. What IS linenbacking?
