If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that movie paper from this film is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned this poster before, and prior to this we have only auctioned one one-sheet poster and one window card for it and no other movie paper for it whatsoever! Note also that this six-sheet was printed in 4 sections designed to overlap. Also note that the theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces). Finally note that the poster was folded oddly and will need to be sent in a large flat package that measures approximately 14" x 23" so bear this added expense in mind before bidding.

Condition: fair. The theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces). The poster has tears and areas of paper loss along parts of the folds and borders. Obviously this incredibly rare poster can be "rescued" through proper restoration, but bear this in mind (and look at our super-sized image) before bidding on it.
