UPDATED 06/19/2015: Note that a sharp-eyed collector noticed that the images of this poster on Mondo's website of archived items have "Amazing" instead of "Cinemascope" at the bottom. We contacted Mondo and they replied that the images on their website were incorrect and "Cinemascope" is universal on all of the prints. Condition: very good to fine. The art print is in excellent condition! Learn More about condition grades
