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

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded once horizontally and once vertically right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded example of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970! Also note that this half-sheet has a very similar image to that of the original half-sheet. But bizarrely, they changed Kim Novak's hairdo on the re-release poster to a short hairstyle, one that she did not wear in the actual movie!

Condition: very good to fine.
