If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that "A Place in the Sun" had one of the more drab ad campaigns of any major movie! The images on the regular posters are uninspiring, and the printing is mediocre. The paper banner offered here has far and away the most interesting poster design I have seen from this movie! Condition: good. there are many strong vertical creases running down the area at the left of the poster where the stars' images are. There are many smudges in this area as well. There is a vertical foldline just to the right of the image area; there are many surface scuffs in the letters of the credits at center, and there are many creases in the title area at right there are many small tears, creases and smudges around the edges of the poster. obviously this extremely rare poster has many real defects. Please do not bid on it unless you can accept them, or are willing to pay to have them professionally restored. Learn More about condition grades
