If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare military one-sheet poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! Military one-sheets were printed at the same time as the regular U.S. one-sheets when the movie was first released. They were made to be used on U.S. military installations. Sometimes the poster has small writing at the bottom that says "For Distribution and Use at U.S. Military Establishments Only", and sometimes they just have "Litho in U.S.A." or "Printed in U.S.A." in small letters in the lower right or lower left (most often, the ones that were used in the 1950s in the Korean War have "Litho in U.S.A.", and the ones that were used in the 1960s in the Vietnam War have "Printed in U.S.A.). This is one of the posters that says "Printed in U.S.A.". Condition: very good. The poster was hand-folded vertically slightly off-center and it has some light fold and border wear. There are few tiny dot stains in the lower blank border only. The very rare poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays well! Learn More about condition grades
