Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned three examples of this one-sheet, but only one example in the last 25 years! Also note that the posters and lobby cards on this title are almost always found with snipes or glue stains over one of the two movies that were shown as part of the double bill, because many theaters receiving this poster only showed one of the two movies, and covered over the part of the poster the related to the other movie. In the case of this poster, it was not used for the showing of one movie, so it does not have any snipes or glue stains! Condition: very good. The poster has tiny paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds and two tiny areas of paper loss 2" to the right of the middle crossfold. It has tiny pinholes around the edges and a few tiny bits of surface paper loss in the vertical fold and minor wear in the horizontal folds. It has a few minor creases scattered throughout. It can certainly either be displayed as it is, or after a simple linenbacking, the poster will display wonderfully! Learn More about condition grades
