An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style B Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) Blackboard Jungle, the classic 1955 Richard Brooks teacher-vs-bad-teens high school melodrama ("The Blackboard Jungle is the most startling picture in years!"; "The sensational novel... now on the screen!"; "Based On the Novel by Evan Hunter"; "The most startling picture in years!"; "MGM's 'Blackboard Jungle' is the most startling picture of the year!"; "Drama of the teen-age terror!"; ) starring Glenn Ford, Anne Francis, Louis Calhern, Margaret Hayes, Sidney Poitier, Vic Morrow, Emile Meyer, Paul Mazursky, Jamie Farr, and Richard Kiley. Note that Sidney Poitier was 28 years old at the time of filming, but could reasonably pass as a high school student. Just 12 years later it would be Poitier who played the teacher dealing with troubled teens in another classic teaching movie, "To Sir, With Love"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. 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 slightly noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "Pre-Restoration Defects & Quality of 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 paper loss at the center crossfold extending down 1" (it affects the area above Ford's eyebrow and down the right side of his eye, but fortunately, it is almost only flesh-colored area and a tiny bit of the eyebrow, and none of the actual eye. There were creases and a few tiny dot areas of paper loss on the two foldlines. There were pinholes, creases, smudges, small tears, and a few small areas of paper loss in the blank borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and the restorer painted over much of the blank borders to "even them out". The restoration of the area at the crossfold was especially nicely done, and it is basically not at all noticeable. Overall, the poster displays quite nicely! Learn More about condition grades
