NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: This poster has been professionally linenbacked. It now looks great, and most dealers would describe it as "fine (or mint) on linen". We have noted the defects that were restored below (and feel everyone should always do this!). Many collectors would not be aware of the restoration this poster has had unless it was specifically shown to them! Condition: very good. The poster has an oddity! While this is an original U.S. one-sheet from this movie it was used in a Spanish-speaking country and the title was very neatly over-printed in Spanish at the top of the poster. It was done so well that it looks to be part of the poster! Otherwise, the poster has had some tears in the lower right of the image expertly mended, and there has been restoration along the foldlines and in the blank borders (there are two extra horizontal foldlines just above the regular top two). The restoration was very well done and the poster looks great! Most of the linenbacked posters we sell were restored by the finest professionals. An expertly linenbacked poster will often appear "mint", as its defects have been made to "vanish". We are the only seller we are aware of who always tries to describe the condition of the poster prior to being linenbacked, so you are fully aware of what restoration was performed.
