If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this three-sheet was printed in 2 sections, but that the theater that used this poster taped the two pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used three-sheets). Also note that the collector who owned this poster chose to roll it up, rather than attempt to fold it (no doubt he was influenced by the fact that the two sections were glued together, and they would have had to be separated prior to folding. This rolling has resulted in extra creases scattered throughout the poster. The poster will be sent rolled in a long tube, and cannot be folded. Condition: poor. The collector who owned this poster THOUGHT he was doing a good thing by putting scotch tape on the back of every foldline (mostly just for reinforcement). But he did not know that over time that tape would both turn a yellow color and bleed through to the front, and there is now tape bleed through throughout the poster. It is not super dark and not super distracting, but it is certainly extremely noticeable, and can only be restored by doing paint restoration to the front of the poster. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept this very significant defect and can display the poster as it is, or are prepared to pay for the extensive restoration it will require.
