If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is a military one-sheet. Military one-sheets were printed at the same time as the regular U.S. one-sheets when the movie was first released. They were made to be used on U.S. military installations. Sometimes the poster has small writing at the bottom that says "For Distribution and Use at U.S. Military Establishments Only", and sometimes they just have "Printed in U.S.A." in small letters in the lower right. This is one of the posters that says "Printed in U.S.A.".

Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and the restorer did a good job, but you can see signs of the restoration from inches away (since most people look at posters framed on a wall from at least a few feet away, we don't feel this is a defect, but we feel it should be noted). See below for this poster's pre-restoration condition (we are the only major auction company we know of that shares this information with our bidders, but we wish everyone did!).

good to very good. The poster had tears and creases across the top foldline (and in the area surrounding the top crossfold), and a lesser amount on the other foldlines. There were pinholes in the corners. The person who restored the poster did a pretty nice job restoring the above defects, but you can still somewhat see them (mostly the restoration across the top foldline, and in the area around the top crossfold).
