Artist: Giorgio Olivetti Important Added Info: Note that this is one of the more bizarre Italian posters we have ever seen! It is NOT a two-panel poster, but is a one-panel, along with a second piece that is "half" of a one-panel, thus resulting in an almost perfectly square poster that measures 55" x 57"! It certainly COULD be a trimmed two-panel, but the two pieces fit together perfectly, and there are full borders on all four sides, so what could be missing! We call on any Italian poster expert to let us know if there is an Italian "one-and-a-half-panel" size (perhaps there were paper shortages at that time that accounted for this), and if so, if they have ever seen this on any other movie, OR, if this poster IS trimmed, explain to us where the trimming was! Note that we have TWO posters like this this week (the other is from "Birdman of Alcatraz")! Condition: good. The top panel of the poster has darkened, so that there is a great contrast between the two panels. Certainly, a talented restorer could almost surely lighten the top panel (likely through chemical means), and after proper restoration, the poster would look great! Learn More about condition grades
