Artist: Stevens
Important Added Info: Note that ANY English movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have never before auctioned a single English movie paper item from this movie until we we received this British quad, which is a "country of origin" poster for this English movie! It is one of a remarkable collection of SIXTEEN "country of origin" British quads we are currently auctioning, which includes some wonderful ones, and ten of them are from the 1950s and six are from the early 1960s, and all of them are posters that virtually never are offered for sale or at auction, and many of them are ones we have never auctioned before! This is an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire one or many of these ultra rare "country of origin" posters that may not come up again for many years! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: very good. The poster has some minor smudges and scuffs on the folds and some very minor border wear.
