Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning and we have only auctioned two lobby cards, one window card, a still and a pressbook for this film, and no other movie paper or posters for it whatsoever! Condition: fair to good. The poster was likely found under a floor, or between walls, and while it was never folded, it had both faded and darkened. It is not that fragile but it had four tears in the lower left extending into the image and some other tears around the edges. Someone many years ago lightly bleached the poster and performed slight restoration to the above defects, putting tape on the back of the tears, but not backing the poster. One could display this poster as it is, or one might choose to have it restored, but bear all this in mind before bidding on this extremely rare poster. Learn More about condition grades
