Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this insert, and that was 26 years ago, when it sold for $863! Note that the first release one-sheet for this movie has an image of Laurence Olivier where he is entirely green, no doubt to make him look like a monster! But that means that this insert is a very attractive alternative, because it shows Olivier as he actually is in the 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 to very good. The poster has three extra horizontal folds, each near to the regular folds. It has some creases on parts of the folds. It has surface paper loss in the left of the top blank border, where a piece of tape was removed, and a water stain in the top right blank corner. The title was written on the back of the top left in tiny letters, and it bleeds through to the front if the yellow area. There is a piece of tape that was removed from the lower left border, and it affected the green background above Fitzgerald's head, and someone did amateur restoration to that area so it is not as noticeable. There is tape on the back of three folds and tape on the back of part of one of the extra folds, with four small tape repairs on the back of other border defects. Learn More about condition grades
