If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster is extremely rare. We have only previously auctioned it three times in the past, and only once in the last 12 years. It is many times more rare than the corresponding one-sheet! Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would almost certainly damage it, so we will only send it in a large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage).

Prior to paperbacking, the poster had minor wear on the folds and some creases, tiny tears, and a few pinholes around the edges. The back of the poster was used to advertise another movie, and there is paint writing on the back of the poster, but very fortunately, because the paper was thick enough, the paint only slightly bled through to the front. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, but the restorer airbrushed part of the white background areas (no doubt because of the slight bleed-through), but still, the poster displays really well!
