Note that this movie was loosely based on a true life case, and the producers of the movie wanted to avoid any possible lawsuit, so they printed up snipes that denied any similarity between the movie and actual events, and many posters have the studio-issued snipes attached. They also asked (in the pressbook and 40x60) that theaters darken their theater in the final 8 minutes of the movie (to greatly heighten the intensity of the great surprise ending of the movie), and they printed up snipes that disclosed this to the audience, and posters often have this snipe attached as well.
