Important Added Info: Note that movie paper from this film is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned even a single movie paper item from this movie until we were consigned this poster! Note also that this one-sheet measures 28" x 41" [71 x 104 cm]. Also 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. The poster was never folded. It had a 12" tear at top center and there is tape on the back of it that darkened. There are two areas of paper loss in the top border, but neither affects the image, only the background and blank border. There are creases around the edges. After a relatively simple linenbacking the poster will display really well!
