If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that our consignor met Mr. Dassin in 1995 in Athens, Greece, and he showed him this poster and asked him to sign it. Mr. Dassin thought it was odd that he had not been credited on the poster as the director (no doubt he was not thrilled by Mark Hellinger's gigantic credit above the title!), and he wrote in the bottom left corner "Director - Unknown J.D. (Hint)", which certainly made his feelings obvious about how he felt about not being credited! 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. There are tiny strips of tape on parts of the borders, where the poster was once attached to a mat. The poster has minor wear on the foldlines. Learn More about condition grades
