If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has completely different art from the commonly seen poster (the one with Richard Amsel artwork). Yet it has a ratings box, indicating it was intended for U.S. release. We have previously auctioned only five examples of this poster (but only two in the last 12 years), and in that time, we have auctioned a very large number of the "regular" one-sheets. We originally thought that it may have been some sort of a special poster that was printed in very limited quantities, but then not distributed to theaters (and surviving examples were obtained from employees of the studio or from people connected with the movie). However, we were contacted by a theater employee who acquired one of these posters from the theater where he was working. So we are not certain why, but this is certainly a rare poster!

It had some very minor border wear and a few creases and scuffs scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
