This poster was signed by Helen Mirren when she gave a talk about her career at the BFI, London. Peter Greenaway signed it at a film screening. It is rare for anyone to have an original film poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs and video/dvd sleeves. It is unusual to have the film's poster with you when you try to obtain signatures.
