If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned one in all our years of auctioning and that was 20 years ago! Note also that this is a "country of origin" poster for this English movie!

Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has several creases and tears of varying lengths (generally 1" or less but some are larger) along portions of some edges (partially repaired with tape from the back) and some paper loss at upper right (see our image). There are light creases scattered in the poster. After paperbacking with some proper restoration the rare poster will display well.
