Important Added Info: Note that this is the style B one-sheet. It is far more rare than the style A one-sheet. We have only auctioned it once before, and that was the same example as the poster we are currently auctioning, except it was unbacked (the buyer of that poster must have had it backed). What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster was used in Canada, and they both put a Canadian censor stamp at top center, and they also covered over part of Jedda's leg where her skirt was split with red paint (see our image). Otherwise, the poster had minor fold and border wear. The person who backed the poster did a good job, but they backed it "as is". Depending on how you look at it, this paint censorship is either a major detraction or a fun example of just how fanatical Canadian censors were in 1956! Learn More about condition grades
