An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (27" x 41") (Learn More) Popi, the 1969 Arthur Hiller Puerto Rico family comedy ("'Better to drown in the ocean than in the sewer."' "Popi had a dream, and the only way he could make it come true was to put his two boys in a rowboat and set them adrift in the ocean."; "'You want these kids? I give them to you. I sign the papers.'"; "'Good kids. Wonderful boys. I'm not kidding. I give them to you. I mean it. You don't take them, I put them in the rowboat all alone in the ocean.'"; about a poor Puerto Rican single father with two young sons, who devises a wacky scheme to have them pretend to be orphaned Cuban refugees, so they can be adopted by a rich Anglo family!) starring Alan Arkin, Rita Moreno ("as Lupe"), Miguel Alejandro, Reuben Figueroa (billed as "and introducing Miguel Alejandro & Ruben Figueroa"), John Harkins, Arny Freeman, Jean Tompkins, and Anthony Holland NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. This poster was linenbacked, but it was either NOT linenbacked by a very talented restorer, OR it was linenbacked many years ago, and has received rough handling over the years, OR it had fairly significant defects that were not restored at all. If it was restored, you can clearly see signs of the restoration even from a distance. This is a poster that would surely benefit from additional professional restoration. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-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!). The poster was in pretty good condition before linenbacking, and was linenbacked fairly well. But at some point after backing, it was roughly handled and there are now a series of large white scuff marks down the right edge of the black background area and a couple of much smaller scuffs near the top and bottom of the center of the image.
