Note that director/star Orson Welles was married to Rita Hayworth, and he co-wrote this screenplay as a way for him to star opposite her! Also note that this movie was originally filmed in 1946, but it was not released in the U.S. at that time. It was finally released in France in December 1947, and at that time, U.S. posters were printed with 1947 NSS numbers, but it did not finally open in the U.S. until 1948!

Important Added Info: Note that oddly, the half-sheet posters from this Rita Hayworth/Orson Welles movie are far more rare than all the other sizes! We have previously auctioned all the different sizes of posters from this movie (including three-sheets and six-sheets!), but we had never auctioned a half-sheet (either style) until we were consigned this style A half-sheet (and its image is different from that of the other posters, except for the six-sheet, which has a similar seated image, but with a blue background instead of a yellow background). Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would have a strong chance of lessening its condition, so we will only send it in a large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage).
UPDATED 06/12/2017: Note that the Auction Title originally mentioned 2000, when this is a 1947 first release half-sheet. What IS paperbacking?

It had some small tears and smudges in the borders, with a pinhole in each corner and tiny paper loss in the middle of the left blank border. It had a few smudges and scuffs scattered throughout. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
