The only poster we have ever auctioned is a half-sheet that has great art of "Marianne" and "Columbia", the symbols of France and the U.S., standing vigilantly together! 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 never auctioned even a single movie paper item from this movie until we received this half-sheet, which is the one referenced above! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that this poster can't possibly be rolled and must be sent in a very large flat package, so bear that added expense in mind before bidding. What IS paperbacking?

Prior to paperbacking, the poster was never folded, but it had an uneven tear across the middle that separated the poster into two pieces, with tiny paper loss in just a few places along that fold. Otherwise, the poster was in pretty nice condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
