An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French One-Panel Movie Poster (measures 47 1/2" x 62 1/2") (Learn More) I Married a Witch, the classic 1942 Rene Clair witchcraft romantic love triangle time travel fantasy comedy ("No man can resist her!"; "I Married a Witch ...and I'm not complaining would you?"; "Based upon a story by Thorne Smith completed by Norman Watson"; "She gets what she wants with.... Hex appeal!"; a complicated but enjoyable tale of a 17th century witch who was burned at the stake with her father, and she returns to the 20th century with her father to get revenge on the descendant of the man who burned them, but, through a very complicated process, she ends up falling in love with him instead!) starring Fredric March, Veronica Lake, Robert Benchley, Susan Hayward, Cecil Kellaway, and Ann Carter 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 this French one-panel measures 47 1/2" x 62 1/2" and is linenbacked. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had darkening on several foldlines and around the edges of the poster. There were tiny areas of paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, smudges, and tiny tears along some folds, and around the edges of the poster. The poster was pretty well backed, but it appears that it was removed from the stretcher too quickly, and the entire poster has slightly rippled, causing it to not lay completely flat. You can see in our image that we were not able to completely flatten it, and that has somewhat distorted the appearance of the poster. I don't know if a restorer could do something to completely flatten the poster, or if it could only be accomplished by re-linenbacking the poster. In any event, know that the poster has a better appearance in person than it does in our photograph (there are some eBay sellers who say that all the time, but I believe this is the first time I have said that in the 190,000 items I have auctioned on eBay!).
