If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an unusual poster! It has a different image from that of the two one-sheet posters we have seen many times before, and those posters are Allied Artists and this poster is Avco Embassy! We know that the movie was released just as Allied Artists (which had been Monogram) was collapsing, and that therefore it seems quite reasonable that Avco Embassy might have acquired the rights from Allied Artists right after the initial release. This poster IS copyrighted 1961 at the lower left. If anyone knows anything more about this poster or Avco Embassy's connection to the distribution of this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and minor fold and border wear, with a few faint scuffs scattered in the poster. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
