Hi Bruce, I have no real idea what the true story behind the 'Style C' is, but there's definitely something odd about it... The credit to 'Magnum Photos Inc' and the following photographer's names have NOTHING to do with this poster, they apparently refer to the set of six photos that are found on the REGULAR onesheet. The type set and credit section and the Magnum Photos reference are perfectly identical to the regular onesheet, and if you compare that one and the Style C TEASER, it appears that somebody copied the credit section and the copyright INDIVIDUALLY into the teaser poster. So, somebody at Warner Bros. likes the teaser poster so much, that they decide to do an additional 'full credit' version with this artwork, and whoever did this painstakingly copies a wrong copyright, yet fails to add the NSS disclaimer or NSS number? I don't think so. Whatever they are, whether forgery or older 'commercial' posters, at this point I tend to agree that these are no theatrical posters.
