Important Added Info: Note that at the time this movie was made, New Line Cinema only made odd-sized posters for its releases, and NO regular (27" x 41") one-sheets. This poster is one of the two first release posters created for this movie by New Line (we don't know if one came before the other, as they have extremely similar writing on each, and New Line may have issued two different posters). One measures 17" x 20 3/4" and is black & white, and the other measures 11" x 17" and is color. The poster offered in this auction is the 11" x 17" color poster.

Condition: very good.
