If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned this style A half-sheet poster for this movie in all our years of auctioning! Also note that the poster was folded down the center at one time and it had tape repairs to the back of that fold. It CAN'T be sent rolled in a tube, because of the tape repairs on the back and rolling it would surely damage it, while sending it in a large flat package that measures 24" x 30" would not. So bear in mind that his poster will be sent in a very large flat package and not a tube. Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. Most of these items absolutely can only be sent in flat packages, and could not possibly be rolled into a tube. Some of them might SEEM like they could be rolled in a tube, like a half-sheet, but they can't. The reason these items are in this auction is specifically because they CAN'T be rolled (because rolling any of them would damage them, even if they somehow can be rolled). So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item when ready for shipping), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. IN THE CASE OF EXTREMELY LARGE FLAT ITEMS, THE SHIPPING COST WILL BE VERY HIGH, SO PLEASE DO NOT BID WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT THAT ADDED SHIPPING AMOUNT, AND INCLUDE THAT AMOUNT IN WHAT YOU BID (so if you would pay $150, but the shipping is likely $100, then only bid $50). And those who live outside the U.S. and who do not have a U.S. address to ship to SHOULD NOT BID AT ALL ON EXTREMELY LARGE FLAT ITEMS, BECAUSE THEY COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO SEND OUTSIDE THE U.S. Condition: good. The poster was folded won the middle and there was separation in the top one third of that fold and someone put tape on the back of that area. There are tape stains in the right border and in the top right corner. There is what appears to be a printing defect at the bottom right of Davis' mouth and in her cheek beside it.
