Artist: Al Hirschfeld Important Added Info: Note that the poster says "AN MGM MASTERPIECE REPRINT" in the bottom right. This was a terminology used by MGM at this time for some re-releases, and it has caused some collectors to be confused! This poster is the original poster from the 1962 re-release of this movie, and is NOT a "reprint"! Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. It had creases in the top right blank corner and some other very minor border defects. There was a minor printing defect in the extreme left of the left blank border, where lines of color are on that edge (this is typical of posters of the early 1960s, and most collectors do not consider it a defect at all). Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and looks great! Learn More about condition grades
