If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that this poster is different from the other posters on this movie we have sold, and it measures a very odd size. It has no distributor information except for "Charm City Productions", which was the original producer of the movie. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards.

Condition: very good to fine. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had faint smudges in the center of the top of the black background area. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
