If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 insert 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 insert posters (note that most post-1970 inserts were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those inserts). Condition: good to very good. The poster was never machine-folded, but there are some creases and smudges and scuffs scattered throughout (mostly across the top third of the poster). There are some 1" and smaller tears around the edges of the poster that have been repaired with tape from the back and some have been touched up with white paint from the front. There is a small ink pad stamp in the lower right corner of the poster indicating this 1949 first release poster was re-used for the 1955 re-release of this movie. The poster is otherwise in generally nice condition and it displays pretty well from a reasonable viewing distance, but if one chose to have it restored it would look fantastic!
