Reckless... Violent!"; "Forever ...Irresistibly Spellbound!"; "Irresistible their love! Inescapable their fears!"; "The Maddest Love that ever possessed a woman"; "These two together to hold you"; "Screenplay by Ben Hecht"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; a strange story of an amnesiac in a hospital who is discovered to be posing as a doctor, but when the doctor is found dead, a female psychiatrist, who has fallen in love with him, tries to find out who he really is and who really killed the doctor; the surreal dream sequences in this movie were designed by Salvador Dali!) starring Ingrid Bergman (billed as "Ingrid Bergman's First Picture since winning the Academy Award"; as a psychiatrist!), Gregory Peck, Michael Chekhov (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Leo G. Carroll, Donald Curtis, Rhonda Fleming (in her first real role, as a nymphomaniac!), Norman Lloyd, John Emery, Regis Toomey, Addison Richards, and Art Baker. Note that Rhonda Fleming was just 22 and had not had any real parts before being cast in this movie. But when she learned she was a "nymphomaniac", she said "I didn't even know what a nymphomaniac was. My mother and I had to look it up in the dictionary."! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. The poster was trimmed on all four sides, and all of the white borders were cut off, as were parts of the black border (only solid black areas). There were several thin areas of paper loss in the vertical foldline, including a thin area of paper loss in the top of Bergman's hair, another thin area in her ear, and a long thin area in the center of the vertical foldline, in the middle of Peck's hands. There was some other paper loss in the rest of the vertical foldline. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was quite nicely backed, because it displays really well, and you really can't see at all where the original poster was trimmed! The restoration within the image area is quite nicely done, and it is really not noticeable. I would think most people would not realize this poster had a lot of restoration, even if they were just inches away from it. But please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept the extent of the restoration it has had (even though it is extremely well done)! Learn More about condition grades
