If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an incredibly rare poster! With movies like this, they would open at the end of the year in a very limited release so that they would qualify for the Academy Awards. Then, after the Academy Awards, new one-sheets would be printed up referencing the awards the movie won. But there was also a small window in between when the nominations were announced, and when the awards were given, and sometimes the studios would also print one-sheets referencing the nominations the film received (of course, this was only done when the movie was still playing, and when it got a lot of nominations, so that it was a strong "selling point"). This is such a poster! It was created after the nominations were announced, but before the awards. After the awards ceremony, the artwork from this poster was reused on a one-sheet that referenced the Academy Awards that the film won in the top area, instead of the nominations. We have NEVER before auctioned this "nominations" style one-sheet, and we have only once auctioned the "Oscar winner" style that has this same artwork! Condition: fair. The poster is rippled throughout due to exposure to moisture. It also has brown stains scattered throughout the poster. It has paper tape on the front and back of each corner and it has many tiny staple holes around the edges. It had a 4" tear near the middle of the right border, with tiny paper loss in the right border, and someone put brown paper tape on the back of that area. The poster is in urgent need of professional restoration. Obviously, one would prefer to find a much better example of this poster, but we have never seen this poster before (see above)!
