Artist: Dante Manno

Important Added Info: Note that the Italian poster designer wisely figured that sexy Diana Dors would "sell" the movie far better than Celia Johnson or Jonathan Ashmore, and so they used a huge close up image of Dors, with young Jonathan Ashmore in the background!

Condition: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases and tears on parts of some foldlines. There were some pinholes and stains around the edges of the poster and a few tiny pinholes within the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
