Artist: Lanny Powers Important Added Info: This poster is the very rare first one-sheet created for this movie! Many collectors agree that at first, there were solely 16mm prints for the first U.S. release of this movie, and was shown mainly in drive-in theaters and "B" movie theaters which didn't show big studio movies (because theater owners did not believe it would do well in such a theater!). This 16mm print was created from the Cannes Film Festival version which was 139 minutes long. Once the film started gaining popularity, it was given a wide release in 35mm with a version that had been edited down to 127 minutes, and a second one-sheet (with the same image, but with the title in red) was created for that 35mm release. We can't be 100% certain this is accurate, but almost all collectors accept that the green title style came before the red title style, and that it is far more rare than the red title style. Note that the last time we auctioned an example of this poster it sold for $830! Condition: good to very good. There are MANY light and fine creases scattered throughout the poster, and there are a few tiny scuffs in the lower quarter credits area. The poster has fine surface paper loss along portions of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this time period) and tiny separation in each crossfold. There is a tiny pinhole in each corner. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and after a relatively simple linenbacking the desirable poster will look great! Learn More about condition grades
