Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare case of a poster for a classic movie containing the best-remembered quote from the movie! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had minor wear on the folds. It had an NSS stamp on the back of the top left corner that bled through to the front. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Also, the poster was slightly roughly handled after it was backed, and there are now some light creases scattered in the poster (both in the poster and the paper backing).
