UPDATED 06/12/2015: Note that we initially listed this poster as a 1960s re-release. However, a knowledgeable collector tells us that it is actually a 1958 re-release. While we cannot be certain, it seems likely and we have updated the auction accordingly. Condition: very good. The poster has small tears in the top of the right blank border and slight darkening on parts of the folds (typical of Italian posters of this period). Learn More about condition grades
