But sometime as you are watching - you will know you are looking at a motion picture that you will never forget the rest of your life!"; set in Australia after an atomic holocaust where the survivors are surely doomed to a painful death) starring Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire, Anthony Perkins, and Donna Anderson (billed as "introducing Donna Anderson") NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: This three-sheet was printed in 2 sections. Note that the title and some of the poster is printed in an unusual "blacklight" style of printing! Condition: very good. There are minor creases throughout the poster, several small tears in the borders, minor separation at a few of the crossfolds, and some black smudging in the lower right blank white area that is almost certainly a printing defect.. Note that this week on eBay eMoviePoster is selling hundreds of large-sized movie posters. Some of these (mostly three-sheets and six-sheets) were large enough that they were printed on two or more separate sheets (this was because the printing presses at that time could not print larger single sheets). Such posters are designed to overlap, and they have marks at the top and bottom of each section that show where the poster's pieces should be placed so that the poster image is correct. This presents are problem for us in photography! If we put the pieces of poster together prior to photography, it is very time consuming, and difficult to do without possibly damaging the poster, even a little bit. So instead, we photograph each piece of the poster separately, and then digitally combine the separate images, overlapping them so that the image views about the same as it would if the poster pieces were correctly placed together. BUT SINCE THE PIECES ARE SHOT SEPARATELY, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL THAT THE INDIVIDUAL PICTURES WILL HAVE DIFFERENT LIGHTING AND/OR BE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SIZE! So sometimes our images of multi-piece posters will give you the impression that part of the poster is a different darkness or size from the rest of the poster. THIS IS NOT THE CASE! It is just the result of photographing the pieces separately. If the pieces DID have a different color or size, we would note that in the auction description! Learn More about condition grades
