Note that there have been many real life cases where someone has tried to make their spouse think they are losing their sanity, and it is commonly referred to as "gaslighting" that person, because of this famous movie with that plot, and in recent years, this term has become very trendy, and it is used by many young people, and surely most of them have no knowledge of its connection to this movie!

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this first release style A half-sheet, and that was 6 years ago, when it sold for $880 (we also auctioned the only example of the style B half-sheet we had ever seen in that set of auctions, and it sold for $851). Note that this poster was folded at one time. Because the folds have not diminished over time, the poster can be re-folded and sent in a standard size flat package, because it will not harm the poster to do so. Therefore, if the winning bidder wants to combine it with flat purchases they can, or if they want to combine it with rolled purchases they can. Condition: fair to good. The poster was folded once in each direction and there are some creases on the folds. There are stains in the middle right of the image, in the background and entering Boyer's forehead. There are similar stains in the bottom center, under the "T" of the title. There are a lesser number of the same stains scattered in the rest of the poster, with darkening around the edges. There are some tears in the borders, which were repaired with tape from the back. While the poster has really significant defects, it is likely that much of the staining and darkening can be reversed through chemical means, and after proper restoration, the poster will look great!
