NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. 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. Someone once started to fold it across the middle, but changed their mind, and that caused a 4" crease in the middle left of the poster, running into Bogart's forehead. There are many creases and a few small tears around the edges. There is a 3" tear in the lower right border that has tape on the back of part of it. There are smudges in the bottom center of the poster and two partial horizontal creases in that area, and one at the top of the poster, 1 1/2" from the top. There is tiny surface paper loss in the lower right of the image, to the right of Hepburn's arm. Someone put a 5" piece of paper tape on the back of part of the left border, where there were tears. Other than the two pieces of tape described above, the poster has had no restoration. Learn More about condition grades
