Anyone have any info on this poster? When it is likely to have been released? Valuation?

 Interesting that it has no printer's info on it. Might it be a later RR? Or one made for art house screenings?

Just a flat out guess here but I would think it was created not too long after the original release poster in 1950. My guess is 1951 or 52. My hunch is just because it mentions the academy awards and the Venice festival it may be early 50's rather than 60's. Hopefully someone will chime in and correct me.

Paul, when did the "X" certification come into use in the UK?

Edit: Just checked. Looks to have been introduced in about 1951 (and abolished in 1982).
