If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is the rare case that the reissue poster for a movie has the same image as the original two-color three-sheet but it is full-color for this reissue! 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! This three-sheet was printed in 2 sections.

Condition: very good. There are many creases, several tears, and some areas of tiny paper loss along the foldlines that were on the outside when the poster was fully folded. There are some creases, smudges, and tiny tears on some foldlines, and some tiny paper loss at some crossfolds.
