Date
Source

Author
English: Illustration and design by Karoly Grosz. Distributed by Universal Pictures.
Permission
(Reusing this file)
English: It is unclear whether the poster included a valid copyright notice because available scans of the original poster (as opposed to later reproductions) are not sufficiently high-resolution to read the text in the margin at the bottom. Regardless, the copyright for the artwork was not renewed, as was required by American copyright law to extend/maintain protection for works published 1963 or earlier. In order to maintain copyright protection, the poster would have had to be renewed 28 years after publication, in either 1958 or 1959 (see the sections for "Artwork: Original registrations and renewals" and refer to the links to search the copyright catalogs for those years). Because it was not renewed, copyright lapsed at that time. Note that the poster art is a distinct work from the film it represents and had to be renewed separately.
