Note that the U.S. posters for this movie have a 1961 NSS number on them, but the movie did not open in the U.S. until May of 1962. We imagine that this delay was caused by the controversy over the movie. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the film distributor "Astor Pictures" primarily distributed re-releases of major studios in the late 1940s and 1950s, but they WERE the first U.S. distributor on a few non-U.S., including this one. This is the from the first U.S. release of this movie, and it NOT a re-release! Condition: good to very good. The poster has a few faint smudges, minor creases and tiny defects in portions of the blank borders (there is a single tiny tear at lower left that resembles a slightly enlarged pinhole). There is some writing on the back that slightly bleeds through to the front at lower right but it is only noticeable in the blank area under the black box. There are some thin smudges and scuffs to the left of "tom" (also in a blank area). The few minor defects are not very noticeable or distracting whatsoever when the poster is displayed at a reasonable viewing distance, and otherwise it is in pretty nice condition (and if one chose to have this desirable poster linenbacked it would look fantastic!).
