NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! This was found with a group of one-sheets that were from a California Air Force Base, and EVERY single one-sheet from that group were from 1958 (a few were from 1957)! It seems a certainty that someone at the Air Force base put them in a stack in 1958 and that they remained there for decades! There were seven of these military one-sheets that we are auctioning individually in this set of auctions, and there was a Vertigo military one-sheet which will be in our December Major auction, and also a number of much lesser ones which will be in our next bulk lot auction, and then there will be no more from this amazing find! This is a military one-sheet. Military one-sheets were printed at the same time as the regular U.S. one-sheets when the movie was first released. They were made to be used on U.S. military installations. Sometimes the poster has small writing at the bottom that says "For Distribution and Use at U.S. Military Establishments Only", and sometimes they just have "Litho in U.S.A." or "Printed in U.S.A." in small letters in the lower right or lower left. Condition: very good. The poster was folded in half an extra time resulting in a light vertical foldline at left and right. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays well!
