An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked British Quad Movie Poster (BQ; Quad Crown; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Living in a Big Way, the 1947 Gregory La Cava World War II (WWII) romantic musical comedy melodrama ("Loving Laughing Living In A Big Way"; "Original Story by Gregory LaCava"; about a G.I. who impulsively marries a beautiful woman just before shipping out, and when he returns, she wants a quick divorce, but he has other ideas) starring Gene Kelly, Marie McDonald (billed on some U.S. posters as "Marie 'The Body' McDonald"), Charles Winninger, Phyllis Thaxter, and Spring Byington. Note that this rather odd movie was written and directed by Gregory La Cava, who started directing movies in 1916, and had directed 173 of them (including "My Man Godfrey" in 1936) before directing this one, and its failure at the box office was the end of his long illustrious career.

The poster had much paper loss in the top blank border and a small amount in the rest of the borders. It had darkening around the edges. It had a 10" diagonal tear in the top center entering the title. It also had tears and tiny paper loss scattered across the middle horizontal fold, with a lesser amount of wear on the other folds. 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.
