If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an unusual one-sheet in that it shows the climax of the very exciting and very long chase scene in the movie. One would wonder why they would feature that scene in a poster intended to be displayed to people entering the movie, thus ruining the suspense of the scene! Condition: good to very good. The poster had fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period). Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects, and the restorer used a very thin linen, which is subject to being creased unless it is handled carefully. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept that it is backed onto a very thin linen! Learn More about condition grades
