An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked English Movie Poster (measures 24 1/4" x 37 3/4") (Learn More) The Ringer, the 1952 Guy Hamilton English London England mystery crime thriller (about a corrupt lawyer who has trouble with one of his ex-clients, and the police psychologist who gets involved with him) starring Herbert Lom, Donald Wolfit, Mai Zetterling, Greta Gynt, and William Hartnell 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 is a rare "country of origin" poster for this English movie! Also note that the poster measures 24 1/4" x 37 3/4" but does not appear to be trimmed (apparently it was just printed in a slightly smaller size, for unknown reasons). Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very minor defects that were not completely restored, and are slightly noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "Pre-Restoration Defects & Quality of Restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). There was writing on the back of the poster that slightly bleeds through in the bottom credits (in the yellow background in the middle of the word "VALENTINE"). There were creases and tears and tiny paper loss in the bottom foldline, more so in the right half. There was tiny paper loss at the crossfolds, and some minor wear on the other foldlines and in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer did not touch up the bleed through described above (but any talented restorer could easily touch up that area without re-backing the poster). Note that the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
