Artist: Renato Casaro Important Added Info: Note that this classic movie was as incredibly popular in Italy as it was in the U.S., because it was re-released in Italy many times. There was a 1966 re-release with this wonderful Renato Casaro art, and the same art was used again exactly for the 1973 re-release (the only way you can tell the two posters apart is by the distributor logo in the top right corner (it is black and white on the 1966 re-release, and black and yellow on the 1973 re-release). We have never seen this wonderful art on any poster other than these two Italian re-releases.
UPDATED 01/09/2015: Note that an advanced collector tells us that the specific re-release date for this poster is 1966. While we cannot be 100% certain, we believe this to be true and have updated the auction accordingly. Condition: good to very good. There are pinholes and a few tiny tears around the edges. There is white conservation tape on the back of each crossfold and on the back of the top half of the vertical foldline where there was separation. There are tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss in the left half of the top foldline and in the top quarter of the vertical foldline, with a lesser amount on the other folds. There are two extra vertical foldlines 1" to the left and right of the regular middle vertical fold. After a relatively simple linenbacking by a talented professional, this poster will look fantastic! Learn More about condition grades
