If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that the poster says "A COLUMBIA REPRINT" in the lower right corner. This was a terminology used by Columbia Pictures at this time for some re-releases, and it has caused some collectors to be confused! This poster is the original poster from the 1955 re-release of this movie, and is NOT a "reprint"!

Condition: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds, and some very tiny tears and tiny dots of paper loss in the bottom half of the vertical foldline. There was minor wear on the other folds and some minor border defects. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well.
