If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet has an image of Kim Novak as she appeared in this movie. In 1961, she had shortened her hair to a completely different style, and when this movie was re-released that year, the one-sheet had a very similar image to that of this original one-sheet. But bizarrely, they changed her hairdo on the re-release poster that new shorter hairstyle, even though she did not wear in the actual movie! Condition: good. The poster had diagonal tears to the left and right of the upper part of the center of the image (to the left and right of the vertical foldline between the top and middle crossfolds). There was a diagonal tear that extended into Holden's chest and a thin V-shaped tear extending into Novak's upper chest. There were some creases and tears in the left of the top foldline, extending up into Holden's face. There were some creases, tears, and small areas of paper loss on some other foldlines and around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was not all that well backed, and the defects and the restoration of the defects can be seen, even from a distance. Learn More about condition grades
