Artist: John Alvin
Important Added Info: Note that this poster has the GCIU printer union logo (bug) in the bottom border. The film came out in June of 1982 and the initial posters were printed by the GAU printer union. The movie was such a huge surprise hit that it was still in theaters a year later, and new posters were printed by GCIU (which was formed in 1983) to fulfill the demand for theatrical posters. Please bid knowing that this poster is from 1983 and not 1982.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period). Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
