If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned two one-sheets, some lobby cards, and a few 8x10 stills from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this half-sheet, which has a completely different image, including both a montage of image and artwork!

Condition: good to very good. The poster has pretty minor wear on the folds with separation at the right end of the horizontal fold and at the bottom end of the vertical fold. It has some stains in the right blank border and a lesser amount in the other borders. It has what appears to be a shoe print in the top left corner, entering the yellow background and some very small tears and tiny paper loss in the borders. Most of the defects are in the blank borders, so this incredibly rare poster can be displayed and enjoyed as it is or certainly restoration can be performed.
