Important Added Info: Note that we have never seen or offered this Argentinean poster from "Giant" before, and that it has an image that we have not seen on any other posters for this movie. We have inquired with other dealers, and it seems that this poster is VERY rare! This Argentinean poster measures approximately 29" x 43". Condition: very good to fine. The poster was folded like a U.S. one-sheet and there was tiny paper loss at the top two crossfolds. There was minor wear on the foldlines. There were some minor border defects and just a few creases, smudges, and scuffs scattered around the edges of the poster, and a few in the background areas. There is a faint censor stamp in the bottom right corner. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well.
