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

Important Added Info: Note that the half-sheets on this movie are extremely rare! This is the very first time we have auctioned either of the two styles of half-sheets.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. It had pinholes, small tears, and tiny paper loss in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
