If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has completely different art from the commonly seen poster (the one with Richard Amsel artwork), but the art on this poster is not signed, and we know no one who has discovered what artist drew it. Yet it has a ratings box, indicating it was intended for U.S. release. We have previously auctioned only seven examples of this poster (but only four in the last 13 years), and in that time, we have auctioned a very large number of the "regular" one-sheets. We originally thought that it may have been some sort of a special poster that was printed in very limited quantities, but then not distributed to theaters (and surviving examples were obtained from employees of the studio or from people connected with the movie). However, we were contacted by a theater employee who acquired one of these posters from the theater where he was working. So we are not certain why at least one made it to a theater, but this is certainly an extremely rare 1970s poster! What IS linenbacking?
