If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is one of a group of 5 laminated posters (4 inserts and 1 half-sheet) that were consigned to us from a collector who had them professionally laminated in 1982, by a company in Rhode Island that did lamination map work for the U.S. Government. Many collectors do not like laminated movie posters, but, WHEN IT IS DONE BY A TALENTED PROFESSIONAL, they stay EXACTLY as they were prior to lamination, even, as in the case of these posters, after decades, which would indicate that lamination surely DOES an excellent job of protecting the posters from any deterioration or aging. I am looking at these five posters in person as I write this, and all look exactly like they did when they were laminated so many years ago! In any event, know that it is quite likely that there is no way to reverse this process, so PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS POSTER UNLESS YOU WANT TO PURCHASE A LAMINATED POSTER!

Condition: good. The poster has been laminated . Prior to lamination, the insert was in pretty nice condition. It had pinholes in the corners and had been folded in the usual way, plus there were two additional horizontal folds 3" above and below the regular top and bottom foldlines. The lamination has made the folds barely noticeable, and the poster looks great!
