An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Italian One-Panel (known in Italy as a "2 Fogli") Movie Poster (1p; measures 39" x 55" [99 x 140 cm]) (Learn More) The Pink Panther, the classic 1963 (released in the U.S. in 1964) Blake Edwards English/U.S. detective mystery crime comedy spoof ("You only live once... so see the Pink Panther twice!!!"; this movie spawned a long running series) starring David Niven, Peter Sellers (as Inspector Clouseau), Robert Wagner, Capucine, Brenda De Banzie, Colin Gordon, Fran Jeffries (billed as "introducing Fran Jeffries"), Claudia Cardinale ("As the Princess"), and featuring a very memorable musical soundtrack by Henry Mancini! Note that, oddly, this movie had premieres in five European countries in December 1963, and then continued to premiere in other countries in early 1964, and finally had its U.S. premiere in March 1964. We have no idea why the producers of the movie took this most unusual releasing strategy. This allowed the producers to make a sequel movie soon after filming on this movie ended, and that sequel, A Shot in the Dark, premiered in the U.S. in June 1964, just three months after this movie first played in the U.S.!

The poster had a tax stamp and a date stamp in the top right corner in the blank white background area. It also had tiny paper loss at just a few crossfolds and a very few creases, scuffs, and tiny tears on parts of some foldlines, and slight darkening around the outer edges of the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and the restorer left alone the tax stamp and date stamp, surely because it lends to the authenticity of the poster, and most collectors would not view them as any sort of defect. Note that the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
