An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (SpanUS 1sh; printed in Spanish in the U.S. for Spanish speaking audiences; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Madeleine, the 1950 David Lean English historical romantic crime murder thriller ("Could YOU decide what no jury ever could?"; "From the kiss that began their back door love affair... to the crime that made the front pages of the world..."; "The strange case of Madeleine"; based on the true story of a Glasgow woman accused of murdering her lover in 1857) starring Ann Todd (in the title role as Madeleine), Norman Wooland, Ivan Desny, Leslie Banks, and Barbara Everest NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was printed in the United States for use at theaters with Spanish speaking audiences (this was done most by MGM, starting in the 1930s, but it was done by the other major studios as well, and often the posters would have the exact same image as the English language poster, except the writing would be in Spanish, and often there would be an added "Toda en Espanol!", meaning "Entirely in Spanish!", printed within the image). Condition: good. This poster has been linenbacked, but it was not very well done, either because the restorer did not do a very good job, or because the years since it has been linenbacked have not been kind to the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. Generally, it had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds, many pinholes around the edges, and the entire poster had darkened, somewhat unevenly. The poster was not that well backed, because you can see signs of the above general defects and the restoration of the defects (in some cases, as should be immediately evident in our image, the linenbacker did no restoration to some of the defects). I would think few collectors would want to display it as it is, without someone performing some additional restoration. Certainly, a talented restorer could perform additional restoration (either with or without re-backing the poster), but it might be fairly expensive to have this done, so bear that in mind before you place a bid.
