Artist: Barry E. Jackson Important Added Info: Note that this poster does not have NSS information in the bottom border. Starting sometime in the late 1970s, both the National Screen Service and the movie studios would sometimes print posters for the same film. Both posters would have the same images and art but the studio-printed posters would lack the NSS identification information normally found at the bottom of posters printed by the National Screen Service. The poster offered here was printed by Avco Embassy, and while it does not have NSS information, it is 100% original! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines (typical of high-gloss posters of this period). It also had some tiny creases on parts of the folds. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Any restorer could touch up the folds without re-backing the poster, or certainly, it could be displayed as it is (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
