Artist: Georges Allard Important Added Info: Note that this poster, which is a "country of origin" poster for this partially French movie, is the rare first release poster from 1963 (there is a very similar re-release from the 1970s, and several more re-releases over the following years, all of which use this same classic image, which is why it is likely familiar to you)! This first release poster is extremely desired by collectors and sells for large sums of money (the last one we auctioned sold for $1,272). What IS linenbacking?
