An Undated (probably 1970s) Re-Release 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 Chase, the 1966 Arthur Penn police crime thriller ("Sam Spiegel has excited the screen with 'The Bridge on the River Kwai', 'Lawrence of Arabia', 'On The Waterfront', 'The African Queen', 'Suddenly Last Summer', and now, 'The Chase' is on... A breathless, explosive story of today!"; produced by Sam Spiegel; "Based on a novel and play by Horton Foote"; "Screenplay by Lillian Hellman") starring Marlon Brando ("In Sam Spiegel's production of The Chase"), Jane Fonda, Robert Redford (in his fourth credited movie role!), E.G. Marshall, Angie Dickinson, Janice Rule, Miriam Hopkins, Martha Hyer, Robert Duvall, Richard Bradford, Henry Hull, Diana Hyland, and James Fox. Note that this movie had a top director, an excellent screenplay author (who was adapting the work of an excellent writer), and starred all top flight actors, and yet the movie was a complete dud!

"Linenbacking" is a process that is used to preserve movie posters (the best restorers de-acidify the poster during the restoration process), and to make them far easier to display (it is much easier and less expensive to frame a linenbacked poster). When linenbacking is done correctly, it adds to the value of the poster, and is NOT a defect! Note that the specific poster in this auction was well linenbacked, but the restorer did not attempt to make the poster look "perfect". You may still see some slight evidence of the restoration and/or the defects when you look at the poster from inches away, and you may be able to see slight signs of restoration even from a distance. But the poster now looks quite nice, and I think most collectors would be quite happy to display this poster on their wall. In general, know that we received many of the linenbacked posters we are currently selling already linenbacked, but we have examined every poster EXTREMELY carefully, and we did our best to describe what condition the poster was in PRIOR to restoration, the defects the poster had PRIOR to restoration (in the "Pre-Restoration Defects & Quality of Restoration" section), any unrestored defects, and, when it seemed worth noting, something about the quality of the restoration itself. Many other auction houses claim to match what we do in this area, but EVERY person who regularly buys movie posters from major auctions can tell you this is just not the case! We never intentionally overgrade a single item, we never "accidentally" miss defects, and we never enhance a single image! Condition: very good. The poster had darkened somewhat on parts of several foldlines and there was tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and minor fold and border wear. Other than the darkening, the poster was in nice condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, but the restorer did not address the darkening on the foldlines.
