Note that the posters for this movie have wonderful Reynold Brown artwork of a giant scantily clad woman standing over a highway, and it is rightly regarded as one of the finest poster images of the 1950s. One wishes one could say the same about the movie itself, but alas, that is not true! But the poster for this movie is surely one of the most memorable ever created! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Reynold Brown Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been "gel backed". What does that mean? It means that a talented restorer backed the poster onto a gel material, and they then performed restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, and afterward the poster still looks and feels like an original poster (and it is!), with no backing at all. Many collectors prefer this method of restoration to paperbacking or linenbacking, because with those methods the poster no longer looks like it was not backed. Gel backing can't be used with posters that have major paper loss or other major defects, but for the posters it can be used on, it is really an excellent method of restoration! What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: good to very good. The poster had pinholes and some tiny tears and a few tape stains in the borders, with some creases and surface paper loss on the folds and a few pinholes within the image. It had creases and scuffs scattered throughout, including in the image of the woman. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer performed excellent restoration, and the poster displays well from a reasonable viewing distance, but you can see signs of the defects and the restoration when you look at it close up.
