If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that when this movie opened in Italy, the producers wisely wanted to capitalize on Michael Jackson's immense popularity as a pop performer at the time, and they created a poster with his name, great art of him performing at a concert, and they re-titled the movie "I'm Magic". I wonder how many people went to see the movie in Italy at that time and were amazed to discover what was actually showing! Note that it is difficult to accurately date Italian posters, and some unmarked re-release posters can be extremely difficult to distinguish from first releases, so please bear that in mind before you place a bid. We used our best information to date this poster, but we can't always guarantee that the Italian posters we sell are not from an unmarked re-release, but this will only prove to be true in a very tiny number of cases.
