If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare paper banner for this classic film noir movie. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! Note also that this poster is very long, but because it is not very wide, it can be sent in a regular size tube. However, it can NOT be combined with other rolled posters, and must be either sent by itself (or combined with other items that are exactly like this). Please bear this in mind before bidding on this poster. Note finally that the photo on this paper banner was printed on a separate sheet and then attached to that area of the banner (see our image - this was commonly done with paper banners, and some 30x40s and 40x60s of this period). This is how the poster was created.

Condition: good. The entire banner has darkened somewhat. It has pinholes and some tears around the edges with some creases, scuffs and small stains scattered through the banner. It has 7" tear in the upper left border and a 1" tear near the middle of the left border and there is tape on the back of those tears but otherwise this incredibly rare banner has had no restoration.
