If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that poster exchanges would sometimes run out of posters that they ordered, and, because they knew that theaters badly needed the posters (they couldn't show a movie without a poster on the wall!), they would often improvise, and send them the next best thing. In the case of 30x40s, when they ran out of them, they had stock 30" x 40" sized sheets with a colorful border around the edges, and they would glue a one-sheet (after trimming the top, left, and right borders) to the center of that sheet, and then send the theater that instead! Offered in this auction is one of those "stock" 30x40s, with an original one-sheet with a trimmed top border glued to the center. Please do not bid on this poster thinking you are purchasing a 30x40, as you are bidding on a one-sheet with its top border trimmed that has been glued to a stock 30x40 poster! Condition: good. The one-sheet has had its top, left, and right borders trimmed, and it has been glued to the stock 30x40 (see above for more). Otherwise, the poster is in pretty nice condition!
