Note that original 1960 posters from this movie all say "filmed in Camera 65" on them. This refers to the anamorphic 65mm lens process used to shoot the picture. 70mm prints for the 1969 re-release required an anamorphic lens, a curved screen, and had an aspect ratio of 2.76:1. For the 1969 reissue, all 70mm prints were spherical 70...meant to be projected on a flat screen with an aspect ratio of 2.20:1. This is why this poster says, "IN 70mm and FULL STEREOPHONIC SOUND - Technicolor" instead of "filmed in Camera 65". Note that this is an "international" style half-sheet (meaning it was printed in the U.S. for use in non-U.S. countries). Note the lack of a ratings box and NSS information. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. The poster has minor fold and border wear. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays well! Learn More about condition grades
