Become the underworld's phantom terror?"; about a European immigrant who is disfigured in a fire, and turns to crime, because everybody shuns him) starring Peter Lorre, Evelyn Keyes, Don Beddoe, George E. Stone, and John Tyrrell NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we do not know exactly what this poster is, but it seems likely that it is a Canadian one-sheet, because we have seen many other similar "silkscreen"-like one-sheets that originated in Canada, and were apparently only used in that country. It would seem extremely likely that it dates from 1941. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this Canadian one-sheet measures 28" x 42 1/2" [71 x 108 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It had a long vertical tear that started slightly to the right of center in the top border and ran down the right side of the face and ended in the left of the "O" of "LORRE". The poster also had scattered scuffs on the letters of the title and some small tears around the edges. 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 (except, of course, mending the vertical tear described above).
