An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style B One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 25" x 37 1/2" [64 x 95 cm]) (Learn More) The Leatherneck, the 1929 Howard Higgin U.S. Marine Corps best-friends-in-the-military melodrama (from the story by Elliott J. Clawson; set at the end of World War I; about two best American friends in the military who bond with a German man, and the three desert their posts to avenge the murder of Boyd's wife's family) starring William Boyd, Alan Hale Sr., Robert Armstrong, Fred Kohler, Diane Ellis, Jimmy Aldine, and Paul Weigel 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 the poster was placed on to a very thin linen backing shortly after being printed (this was a common practice before kraftpaper backing). The purpose was to reinforce it, so that it would survive, when passed from theater to theater, and when put up on walls and taken down. The poster could be professionally removed from the original linen and placed on to a proper linen backing. I have done this to several such posters, and they end up looking wonderful! Also note that this one-sheet has been trimmed and now measures 25" x 37 1/2" [66 x 100 cm]. Please do not bid on it thinking that it is 27" x 41". Condition: poor. There is a title snipe across the title area as well as areas of paint and overprinting in the title and credits area. The borders have been unevenly trimmed from the poster. There is small paper loss scattered throughout the poster (more so along the folds). There are creases, smudges, and scuffs throughout the poster from it being folded while backed. Surely a talented restorer could remove the poster from its old backing and put it on proper linen but please do NOT bid on this poster unless you are willing to accept its defects or have it restored!
