Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More)

Undercurrent, the 1946 Vincente Minnelli romantic family relationship crime film noir ("Please don't tell the terrific ending!"; "Based on a story by Thelma Strabel"; about a woman who impulsively marries a man, and then discovers he has a brother who has mysteriously vanished, and she comes to suspect that he has murdered the missing brother) starring Katharine Hepburn ("Never so exciting!"), Robert Taylor ("He's back! And it's his greatest role!"), Robert Mitchum, Edmund Gwenn, Marjorie Main, Jayne Meadows (in her first movie role!; on some stills she is referred to as "Jayne Cotter"), Clinton Sundberg, and Dan Tobin. Note that the tagline after Robert Taylor's credit about him being "back" refers to this being his first movie after he finished his military service during World War II. Also note that Lorraine Day had agreed to to appear in the movie "Keep Your Powder Dry" on the condition that she star in this movie, but then MGM reneged on the deal, and Day asked to be released from her contract and MGM obliged. Finally, note that there was a long-standing story that Katharine Hepburn felt Mitchum was a poor actor who only got by on his looks, and that she told him so to his face, but when Mitchum appeared on the Dick Cavett TV show, he said that this was a complete myth, and that he and Hepburn got along really well!

Condition: very good. Prior to linenbacking, the poster was in very good condition. There were small holes at each crossfold and some tiny tears in the middle of the vertical foldline. There were some small tears and tiny areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. There was a 1/2" x 2" area of paper loss in the right of the top border extending into the top of the background area. Restoration has minimized these flaws, but they are still noticeable when looking at the poster close-up.
