Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this Spanish poster! First release posters from Spain from this period are extremely rare, especially ones from classic movies like this one. Also note that the poster has "Autorizada de Mayores", which translates to "Authorized for Adults", which was clearly a "ratings" warning (like "For Mature Audiences" in other countries)! Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 26 1/2" x 38 1/4" [67 x 97 cm]. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: good. The poster was trimmed around the edges (likely the blank borders were removed for display, however, we have never seen another example of this poster so we cannot compare the two). It has approximately 6" of discoloration and tiny tears, creases and bits of paper loss at the top edge of the upper vertical foldline and that area is backed by clear tape (as well as some small separation in the upper crossfold). There is a 1" tear at upper right that has been repaired with tape from the back and there is some tiny paper loss at the crossfold. Despite the defects, the art of the poster is "all there" and it could be displayed and enjoyed as is, but after some proper linenbacking and restoration the poster would display quite nicely.
