If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has a corrective snipe over the top left of the poster. It covers the area where it once said "TODAY" (but the people who attached it to the poster foolishly put white tape around the edges, instead of gluing it on, so it is very obvious, when it was supposed to not be seen at all. We have seen examples of this snipe that were not attached, and on the side that was not solid black it said: "BILLPOSTER - IMPORTANT! 6 SHEET 'MONKEY ON MY BACK' USE THIS SNIPE TO COVER THE WORD 'TODAY' IN THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER OF THE 6 SHEET!". My best guess is, theaters were putting this poster up in advance of showing it, and then angry people were going to the theater and were all mad because the movie was not playing "TODAY", so, they printed this snipe just to cover their bases and protect against people who couldn't understand that it was part of the tagline! This six-sheet was printed in 4 sections. Condition: fair. The poster has a corrective snipe taped to the top left (see above). It is also rippled throughout. There is some darkening on the back of the part of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded. There are some creases and several tears along the foldlines that were on the outside when the poster was fully folded. There are some creases, smudges, and tiny tears on some foldlines, and some tiny paper loss at some crossfolds. Learn More about condition grades
