This "Special" rare format poster for Mel Brooks' cult gothic comedy Young Frankenstein (1974) was printed in an uncommon size and features fantastic artwork by John Alvin. Unlike the regular One-Sheets, it has a full bleed black border as opposed to white. Printed in very limited numbers, this was most likely given away to cast and crew or Studio executives, a common practice for the period. This example has been signed in the lower right corner in black ink by the late Alvin, who also added the date "1974".
