An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Australian Daybill Movie Poster (db; measures 13 1/4" x 30" [34 x 76 cm]) (Learn More) Valley of the Dolls, the classic 1967 Mark Robson show business drug addiction camp thriller ("The all time #1 best-seller... Now a movie"; "In the Valley of the Dolls, it's instant turn-on... dolls to put you to sleep at night, kick you awake in the morning, make life seem great-instant love, instant excitement... ultimate hell!"; "The motion picture that shows what America's all time #1 best seller first put into words!"; "The nation's most startling and hotly discussed best-seller now on the screen with every shock and sensation intact!"; "NEELY O'HARA: ... who was such a nice kid - until they put her name in lights. She took the green pills. Nice kid turned lush!"; "ANNE WELLES:... good girl with a million dollar face - and all the bad breaks. She took the red pills."; "HELEN... who was a gut, fingernail and claw fighter - and went down swinging. She took the yellow pills."; "JENNIFER NORTH: ... International sex symbol - victimized by everyone. She took the blue pills. Sex symbol turned on too often!"; "Based on a Book by Jacqueline Susann"; "Screenplay by Helen Deutsch and Dorothy Kingsley") starring Barbara Parkins, Patty Duke, Paul Burke, Sharon Tate (in her fourth credited movie role), Tony Scotti, Lee Grant, Joey Bishop, George Jessel (Collectively billed as "Guest Stars Joey Bishop and George Jessel"), and Susan Hayward ("as Helen Lawson"). Note that the music for this movie was composed by John Williams (apparently his first real time doing so for a movie), and on the soundtrack CD he is billed as "Johnny Williams"! Note that "everybody" knew that the book was partially loosely based on the life of Judy Garland and other Hollywood stars, but to protect themselves, the producers added a note to the posters that read "The Producers wish to state that any similarity between any person, living or dead, and the characters portrayed in this film, is purely coincidental and not intended."

"Linenbacking" is a process that is used to preserve movie posters (the best restorers de-acidify the poster during the restoration process), and to make them far easier to display (it is much easier and less expensive to frame a linenbacked poster). When linenbacking is done correctly, it adds to the value of the poster, and is NOT a defect! Note that the specific poster in this auction was well linenbacked, but the restorer likely did not attempt to make the poster look "perfect". You may still see some slight evidence of the restoration and/or the defects when you look at the poster from inches away. But the poster now looks quite nice, and I think most collectors would be extremely happy to display this poster on their wall. In general, know that we received many of the linenbacked posters we are currently selling already linenbacked, but we have examined every poster EXTREMELY carefully, and we did our best to describe what condition the poster was in PRIOR to restoration, the defects the poster had PRIOR to restoration (in the "Pre-Restoration Defects & Quality of Restoration" section), any unrestored defects, and, when it seemed worth noting, something about the quality of the restoration itself. Many other auction houses claim to match what we do in this area, but EVERY person who regularly buys movie posters from major auctions can tell you this is just not the case! We never intentionally overgrade a single item, we never "accidentally" miss defects, and we never enhance a single image! Condition: very good to fine. The poster had minor fold and border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well. Learn More about condition grades
