Note that the U.S. posters for this movie have a 1961 NSS number on them, but the movie did not open in the U.S. until May of 1962. We imagine that this delay was caused by the controversy over the movie. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we believe that this poster, which is a "country of origin" poster for this English movie, is not from the first release of this movie in 1960. That is because we have auctioned a different example of this poster that looks extremely similar, but which has more color than this one does. We think the other poster is from the 1960 first release and that this poster is likely from a quick 1960s re-release. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good to fine. The poster had minor fold and border wear. There were a few scuff marks in the solid black background areas. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
