If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned one in all our years of auctioning and that was 16 years ago! Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. The poster has several creases, smudges and tears of varying lengths around the edges (see our image). Many are backed by brown paper tape (much of the right and left edges are backed by brown paper tape except two large tears at left are unbacked and make that edge somewhat fragile.) There is a tear in Clift's face at center (backed by the same tape) and there are fine creases scattered throughout. There are some faint smudges in Winters' face. After proper restoration the very poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition as described above and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
