If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this special Italian poster, which measures 26 1/2" x 38 1/2" [67 x 98 cm], and that was 8 years ago, when it sold for $825 (but that one was "good to very good")! It solely has wonderful dead body silhouette art with the title and Preminger's credit, and an artist's name in the lower right border. It is printed in a "dayglo" fashion, with the title in fluorescent orange (see our image). We can't say for certain if it is from the first release of this movie in Italy (if it is, it would seem to surely be a "teaser" poster), or possibly it is from an early re-release, but we lean strongly towards first release, especially because we are separately auctioning a similar poster for "From Here To Eternity", which is by the same artist and is also "dayglo", and that one has a Columbia logo. But please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept the uncertainty as to when it is from. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: fair. The poster is EXTREMELY fragile and separated across the middle and down the bottom half. There are small tears along parts of the folds, with small paper loss around the edges of the poster. But the poster is mostly "all there", and after linenbacking by a talented professional, the poster will look fantastic, and it will likely not require very much paint restoration within the image. However, bear its much lesser condition in mind and the cost of restoration before bidding. Learn More about condition grades
