If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that the United States distributor of this classic English movie, United Artists, was apparently unwilling to promote this movie as a movie about English/South African race relations, so they created a bland poster which does not reference the subject matter of the movie, and which prominently features the images of two of the white actors in the movie!

Condition: very good. There are a few tiny areas of paper loss along the foldlines at top.
