Important Added Info: Note that the domestic release of this movie prior to the Academy Awards was handled by Embassy Pictures (the non-U.S. release was handled by United Artists). There are two styles of pre-Awards one-sheets that each have a large blank section at the top (we strongly suspect that the producers were certain the movie would win multiple Academy Awards, and they left that area so they could quickly print new posters referencing the Academy Awards right after the ceremony). But in addition to those pre-Awards one-sheets with large image areas, Embassy also made this reviews one-sheet, prior to the Academy Awards, but after Mike Nichols had won the New York Film Critics Best Director award, and after the first critics had seen the movie, and the poster references that. Since the Film Critic Awards were held in January and the Oscars were held at the start of April, this poster could only have been used during that brief time. This is an extremely rare poster, far more rare than the other pre-awards one-sheets for this movie. We have only auctioned four examples of this poster, and only two in the past 16 years! Condition: very good. The poster has very light fold and border wear and a few tiny faint smudges along portions of the lower horizontal fold and lower vertical foldline. It has a slight crease to the right of the vertical foldline in between the center and bottom crossfold. The very rare poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays quite well!
