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

Important Added Info: Note that this half-sheet has been trimmed and now measures 20 1/2" x 26" [52 x 66 cm]. Please do not bid on it thinking that it is 22" x 28". This poster has been kraftbacked, which means it was backed onto a brown paper soon after it was printed (this process is called "kraft-backing", and posters with it are called "kraft-backed"). One could have it professionally removed from the kraft paper and linenbacked, and it would look great! Finally, note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: good. Approximately 1" has been trimmed from each edge of the poster. There is a censor stamp in the upper right corner and a small snipe in the credits at lower right.
