Important Added Info: Note that we have only once before auctioned this insert, and it sold for $666! Also note that the main image of this insert is a great montage of the lead characters, with a large sexy image of Lena Horne, but there is also much artwork scattered throughout the poster. Al Hirschfeld did a full artwork one-sheet for this movie, but we don't know if he did the art on this insert, or if it is the work of another artist. If anyone knows for certain either way, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that while this poster could conceivably be rolled, it is very old, and it would not make sense to roll it, as rolling it would have a good chance of damaging it. Therefore we will send it in a very large flat package, unless the new owner insists on us rolling it and will accept responsibility for the chance of damage. Please bear that extra shipping cost in mind BEFORE placing a bid on this poster! Condition: good. The poster was never folded. It has many smudges, faint stains, and some pinholes around the edges. It had a tear in the lower right border and four small tears near the bottom of the right blank border, and someone put paper tape on the back of those areas. Since most of the defects are around the edges, the poster can be displayed as it is, or certainly, restoration can be performed, and it is likely that much or all of the stains and smudges can be removed chemically. Either way, the new owner will have a rare and desirable poster to display on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
