Farrell MacDonald, and Stanley Andrews. Note that this movie was released theatrically. After it proved very successful, George Reeves was hired for the "The Adventures of Superman" TV series along with Phyllis Coates (who left the series after the 1st season and was replaced with Noel Neill, who portrayed Lois in the first 2 Superman serials). Also, this movie was shown as a special two-part episode of the TV show! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that Cuban posters from the 1960s and earlier are incredibly scarce! American movies were shown there until some time after the Castro revolution, and then they were not. It seems that the posters from those American movies were likely all trashed (or possibly recycled). This is one of a group of super rare Cuban posters from U.S. movies that we were consigned. All of them have varying degrees of condition issues, but one can't afford to quibble about that, because it is amazing just that they have survived at all! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had many scuffs in the solid black areas, which may have been a printing defect. It had tiny bits of paper loss near the center and some scuffs and smudges scattered throughout. It had some pinholes and tears in the borders. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
