Artist: Al Hirschfeld Important Added Info: Note that this poster has great artwork by the legendary Al Hirschfeld! A collector of Hirschfeld art tells us that to the best of his knowledge, this artwork was never used on first release movie paper (though it was used in trade publications), so this Hirschfeld art is only found on 1958 re-release posters (and while we have had 1958 re-release lobby cards before, this is the very first time we have ever had this really cool one-sheet!).
