An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style A One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Citizen Kane, the classic 1941 Orson Welles (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) biographical newspaper journalism melodrama ("Some called him a hero... Others called him a heel"; "It's Terrific!"; loosely based on the life of William Randolph Hearst; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; many people consider it the finest movie ever made) starring Orson Welles (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Charles Foster Kane), with the members of Welles' "Mercury Actors", who had previously acted with him on stage, Joseph Cotten (as Jedediah Leland), Dorothy Comingore (as Susan Alexander Kane), Everett Sloane (as Mr. Bernstein), Ray Collins (as Jim W. Gettys), George Coulouris (as Walter Parks Thatcher), Agnes Moorehead (as Mary Kane, Kane's mother), Paul Stewart (as Raymond), Ruth Warrick (as Emily Monroe Norton Kane), Erskine Sanford (as Herbert Carter), William Alland (as Jerry Thompson), Fortunio Bonanova (as Signor Matiste), Buddy Swan (as Kane at age 8), Harry Shannon (as Kane's father), and Alan Ladd (in one of his early incredibly tiny parts, but he does have a single speaking line!) 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. The poster had tiny paper loss at the top crossfold and paper loss around the size of a dime at the bottom two crossfolds. There was separation and some very tiny tears on the foldlines. There was paper loss in the left 6" of the top blank border, solely in the extreme top edge, and solely blank white paper. There was a 1 1/2" tear in the right of the top border, just extending into the edge of the red background. Other than the above defects, the poster was really in quite nice condition prior to linenbacking. If not for the paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds (both of which fall in Welles' pants, and are clearly not very significant at all), I would definitely grade this poster as "fine". The poster was quite nicely backed, and it displays great, and I would think any collector would be quite happy to display it on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
