If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have auctioned two different styles of Argentinean posters from this movie. They both have the same basic image, but one has just a light blue background at top, and the other has semi-circular black lines scattered through the background. There are other slight differences between the two posters, including that one has tiny printer information and the other does not. We have no way of determining if one predates the other, so do not bid on this poster unless you can accept the uncertainty about whether it is from the first Argentinean release of this movie. 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. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some folds. It had pinholes and some paper loss in the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
