If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster, which is a "country of origin" poster for this partially Italian movie, is an extremely rare poster. When this movie was first released in Italy, there were two different types of posters. There are two very different images on the two types, and on the locandina, the images are the same, but the fonts are different. Prior to seeing this poster, we had thought that the one-panel was only found with one of the images, and that the two-panel was only found with the other image. As noted above, we already knew that the locandina was done in both fonts, and now, with seeing this poster, which we have never auctioned before, we also know that the one-panel was done with both images (the image on this poster is very similar to the image on the two-panel poster, and we suspect there is an as yet unseen two-panel poster with an image like that of the more seen one-panel poster. What is especially confusing about all this is that we don't know if one of the styles predates the other in the slightest! If they were from different dates, one would think there would be some difference in the credits, and yet the credits on both are exactly the same (although arranged differently). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that it is difficult to accurately date Italian posters, and some unmarked re-release posters can be extremely difficult to distinguish from first releases, so please bear that in mind before you place a bid. We used our best information to date this poster, but we can't always guarantee that the Italian posters we sell are not from an unmarked re-release, but this will only prove to be true in a very tiny number of cases.
