If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned three lobby cards, two stills, and a glass slide (and NO other movie paper) from this movie until we received this one-sheet!

Also note that this poster could conceivably be rolled in a tube, but because it is old and valuable, we intend to send it in a large flat package, and will only send it rolled if the new owner accepts responsibility if it is damaged from being rolled. Please bear this in mind before placing your bid on this rare poster.

Condition: very good to fine. The poster was never folded. It has slight darkening in the bottom and right borders, with two small tears in the right border. Other than the above border defects, the poster is in excellent condition, and it has likely survived in as nice condition as one could have hoped!
