If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an unusual poster 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 on a poster that was intended to be displayed to people entering the movie, thus ruining the suspense of the scene! Note that this poster is not marked, but since we know that there IS a style B poster on this title, and this poster has a different image, we assume that this poster is the style A, so we are referring to it in that fashion. Also note that this is an "international" style one-sheet (meaning it was printed in the U.S. for use in non-U.S. countries). Note the lack of a ratings box. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period). It also had creases and scuffs along parts of the folds and pinholes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
