If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this movie was VERY controversial when it was first released, even with the studio adding a rather odd "epilogue", assuring audiences that Patty McCormick wasn't really evil! Apparently, many parents protested that they did not want their children to see this movie, and the studio sent out paper snipes to theaters, to be pasted on the posters, that read "RECOMMENDED FOR ADULTS ONLY!". This poster DOES have such a snipe (although of course, it could be easily removed by a professional or talented amateur, and without backing the poster). Condition: poor to fair. There is light rippling and discoloration throughout the poster from exposure to moisture and there is a snipe glued at upper left (see above). There is crude pencil drawing in the inset image at lower left and pencil marks over the star at right. There are several defects scattered throughout. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid and please do not bid unless you can accept the defects described above.
