If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this window card was made for a specific local theater (the "Globe Columbiana"). Often larger theaters would hire local artists to create their own "local theater window cards" like this one. They would often feature artwork that appeared on no other posters, and they were NOT issued by the studio that released the movie. Also note that this window card is not "roll-able", because the paper is thick enough and it is fragile enough that rolling it would damage it. Therefore we will send it in a large flat package that measures approximately 19" x 28". Please bear that extra shipping cost in mind BEFORE placing a bid on this poster! Condition: good. There are nail holes in the left and right of the card and a stain and paper loss in the top right corner. Learn More about condition grades
