Artist: Lanny Powers Important Added Info: Note that an expert collector pointed out that this poster is a very rare first print! This green title style was used mainly in drive-in theaters and "B" movie theaters which didn't show big studio movies. Once the film started gaining popularity, a second printing with red titles was created. Note that a poster expert tells us that the first release of this movie was in 16mm, and that this green title style was created for that release. As we noted above, when the movie did so well, it was given a wide release in 35mm, and the red title style was created for that release. Condition: good to very good. There are creases and pinholes in each corner, with some having paper loss due to rough removal, and a few pairs of staple holes around the edges. There are small tears in the upper right and lower left of the blank black section of the poster, both near the blank borders. There are some tears around the edges, with approximately 1" to 1/2" tears at the edge of the top and bottom of the horizontal fold, and tears of various lengths in the blank borders of the horizontal folds, with a tear of 1 1/2" in the center right edge at the foldline. There are a few minor scuffs and smudges in various areas, but overall many of the defects are mostly outside of the main image area which is in pretty nice condition.
