If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this half-sheet has an image of Kim Novak as she appeared in this movie. In 1961, she had shortened her hair to a completely different style, and when this movie was re-released that year, the half-sheet had a very similar image to that of this original half-sheet. But bizarrely, they changed her hairdo on the re-release poster that new shorter hairstyle, even though she did not wear in the actual movie! Also note that this poster has never been machine folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded once horizontally and once vertically right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded example of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970! Condition: good to very good. The poster is tattered in the top border, but is otherwise in pretty good condition! Learn More about condition grades
