Important Added Info: Note that the one-sheet poster for this all-time classic movie has a very disappointing image, but more importantly, the quality of the printing is not very good. The insert and three-sheet have better images, but they don't show Gary Cooper's face. But this wonderful 40x60 has a completely different image from all the other posters, and it has a fantastic large image of Gary Cooper, the "man who was too proud to run". It is an incredibly rare poster, and we have never auctioned it before!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. It had some pinholes and small tears around the edges, with paper loss in the bottom right blank corner, caused by rough removal of a pin. It had a few scuffs scattered in the image. It had a lot of vertical scuffing in the right side of Cooper's hat and somewhat in his forehead (see our image). Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
