If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that when you see a U.S. poster from a classic international movie, you sometimes need to worry that it might possibly be from an undated re-release, or that the movie did not receive a U.S. release until a few years after the movie was made. But in the case of this poster, it is clearly dated 1959 in the lower right, so we know for sure that it is from the first U.S. release in 1959 (which occurred in late 1959, likely in arthouses).
