If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is the first time we have ever sold a half-sheet for this movie! Note also that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: fair to good. The poster was exposed to moisture mostly in the lower half, where there is much slight discoloration and some break down and loss of the paper mostly at lower center (and the paper in the lower edge ha "softened"). There is a approximately 2" tear at upper right and there are some yellowed pieces of tape on back (visible on front mostly in the left edge). A proper paperbacking can help repair some of these defects, but please bear in mind the cost of restoration of this rare poster prior to placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
