If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an unusual half-sheet in that it shows the climax of the very exciting and very long chase scene in the movie. One would wonder why they would feature that scene in a lobby card intended to be displayed to people entering the movie, thus ruining the suspense of the scene! Also note that this poster has never been machine folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded once horizontally and once vertically right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded example of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970! Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
