A 1948 Realart Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) The Man Who Reclaimed His Head, the 1934 Edward Ludwig World War I (WWI) romantic love triangle author pacifism melodrama ("From the exciting play by Jean Bart"; an unusual story set just before World War I began, about a man who is hired by an industrialist to write anti-war literature, but he doesn't realize that the only reason the industrialist wants to publish his writing is so that he can keep selling munitions to both sides, and when the author learns he was betrayed, he enlists, but he learns that the industrialist has stolen his girlfriend, and he goes AWOL and kills the man, "to reclaim his head"!) starring Claude Rains ("'The Invisible Man'"), Joan Bennett, Lionel Atwill, Juanita Quigley (billed as "Baby Jane"), Henry O'Neill, Henry Armetta, Lloyd Hughes, Bessie Barriscale, and Carol Coombe. Note that Claude Rains had just had major success in "The Invisible Man" shortly before this movie was released, and given that this was an unusual movie with a difficult-to-sell subject matter, Rains was billed as "Claude Rains 'The Invisible Man'", probably in the hopes that theatergoers might imagine this was a horror movie!

Important Added Info: Note that this movie was in the package of Universal horror movies that Realart purchased in the late 1940s, but of course, it is not really a horror movie! But Realart did the best they could to convince viewers that it was one, with a cool poster of Claude Rains surrounded by spooky green skulls, with the tagline "Human Hatred was his Fiendish Business"! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was folded an extra time and there were many tiny creases and scuffs on parts of the folds. The borders of the poster had brown staining, slightly extending into the edges of the image, with many pinholes and tears in three borders, and paper loss scattered in the left and right of the top border. Overall, the poster was in 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. Because the majority of the defects are in the border areas, the poster can certainly be framed and enjoyed just as it is! Note that the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
