An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Argentinean Movie Poster (measures 29 1/4" x 43 1/2" [74 x 110 cm]) (Learn More) Lola Montes (released in the U.S. in an edited version in 1959 as "The Sins of Lola Montes"), the 1955 Max Ophuls French/German fictionalized biography romantic adventure tragedy ("The frank and shocking story of the worlds most famous WOMAN OF SCANDAL!"; "She lived too intensely and far too well!"; "The True story of a fancy woman!") starring Martine Carol (in the title role as Lola Montes), Peter Ustinov, Anton Walbrook, Henri Guisol, Lise Delamare, Oscar Werner, Will Quadflieg, Paulette Dubost, Ivan Desny, Oskar Werner, and Jean Galland. Note that the movie is presented with a framing device of an older Lola Montes appearing at a circus, with a series of re-creations of scenes from her life; when the movie was shown to U.S. audiences four years later, it was both censored and re-edited so that the scenes were presented in chronological order. Eventually, most of the original movie was reconstructed, and in 2008, a striking new Technicolor print was created. Also note that this was director Max Ophuls' final film and the only movie he made in color! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had minor wear on the foldlines and darkening around the edges of the blank borders. Overall, the poster was in 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, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
