An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked British Quad Movie Poster (measures approximately 30" x 40") (Learn More) Fahrenheit 451, the classic 1966 Francois Truffaut English science fiction (sci-fi) dystopian romantic future thriller ("From the world-famed novel by Ray Bradbury"; "Aflame with the excitement and emotions of tomorrow!"; about a society where books are banned by the English government, and firemen burn books and start fires!; the movie centers around a fireman who doesn't fit in, and he encounters a group of rebel people, including a beautiful woman who looks exactly like his wife, which is not surprising, because Julie Christie plays both the rebel woman and his wife) starring Julie Christie ("Her first role since her Academy Award for 'Darling'"; sensational in a dual role as both Clarisse and Linda!), Oskar Werner ("Winner of the New York Critics Best Actor Award"), Cyril Cusack, Anton Diffring, Jeremy Spenser, Alex Scott, Mark Lester, and Bee Duffell (as the "book woman") 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! Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. 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 had minor wear on the foldlines and some minor border defects. Overall, the poster was in nice condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and looks great! Note that at some time after linenbacking, the poster was roughly handled and it now has creases across the top and bottom edges. These creases are mostly in the excess linen, but they extend into the edge of the top blank border in two areas. Those creases are not at all distracting, and of course, they would not show when the poster was framed. Learn More about condition grades
