An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Hucksters, the 1947 Jack Conway advertising agency romantic comedy ("Gable's New Star is Deborah Kerr [rhymes with star]"; "The sensational best-seller is on the screen!"; "Love that picture!"; "Love that Cast"; "Based on the Novel by Frederic Wakeman") starring Clark Gable, Deborah Kerr ("Rhymes with Star"), Sydney Greenstreet, Adolphe Menjou, Ava Gardner, Keenan Wynn, Edward Arnold, and Gloria Holden NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: fair to good. This poster has been linenbacked, but it was not very well done, likely both because the restorer did not do a good job at all, and because the years since it has been linenbacked have not been kind to the poster. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. Generally, it had tears and areas of paper loss down the center of the poster and a lesser amount on the other folds, with creases, tears, and pinholes around the edges of the poster, and some uneven darkening scattered in the poster. The poster was not well backed at all, because you can still see some or all of the defects generally described above (in some cases, as should be immediately evident in our image, the linenbacker did no restoration to some of the defects), and if there was restoration of the above defects, it was not done very well. Certainly, a talented restorer could perform additional restoration (either with or without re-backing the poster), but it might be fairly expensive to have this done, so bear that in mind before you place a bid.
