She knew it was just a matter of time!"; "The famed Pulitzer Prize Play.... On the screen at last!"; "The Pulitzer Prize Play...

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this half-sheet has an image of Kim Novak as she appeared in this movie. In 1961, she had shortened her hair to a completely different style, and when this movie was re-released that year, the half-sheet had a very similar image to that of this original half-sheet. But bizarrely, they changed her hairdo on the re-release poster that new shorter hairstyle, even though she did not wear it in the actual movie! 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 is almost completely separated along the foldlines and there are tape stains and tape repairs on the back along the foldlines that bleed through to the front. There is a piece of brown tape on the back of the poster at upper left and right but it does not appear to have any effect on the front. The poster is otherwise in generally nice condition and it seems likely that the tape stains could easily be removed during the restoration process and after the poster is backed it will display quite nicely.
