If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this classic movie was first distributed in 1956 by RKO, which gave it a "roadshow" release (a limited release in major cities with higher than normal ticket prices). Normally, this would have been followed up by a second wide release "at popular prices", also by RKO, but at this exact time, RKO was folding, so the wide release was handled by 20th Century Fox instead. So the material from RKO is from the very first limited roadshow release, while the material from 20th Century-Fox is from the general release. Condition: good. There is light rippling and slight discoloration scattered in portions of the poster due to exposure to moisture and there is writing along the upper blank border. Some of the edges were folded back at one time (see our image) and there are some other defects that can be clearly seen in our super-sized image. Learn More about condition grades
