An Original Undated (probably 1950s; from the first release of this movie in Belgium) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Belgian Movie Poster (measures 14 1/2" x 18 1/2" [37 x 47 cm]) (Learn More) Cynthia, the 1947 Robert Z. Leonard romantic sickly-girl-with-overprotective-parents comedy ("You'll fall in love with Cynthia"; "Based on a play by Vina Delmar", which borrows elements of its plots from The Secret Garden) starring Elizabeth Taylor (in her first "grown-up" title role as Cynthia Bishop), George Murphy, S.Z. Sakall, Mary Astor, Gene Lockhart, Spring Byington, James Lydon, and Scotty Beckett. Note that Elizabeth Taylor was just 15 when this movie was made, and just a year before, she was a child actress, but MGM recognized that she had "matured", so they gave her this role, where she, while still a teen, had her first romantic part, including a kiss with boyfriend James Lydon!

Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards). The poster also had one vertical fold and two horizontal folds near the center. It had a tear and paper loss in the middle of the left border and wear on the foldlines. Overall, the poster was in good to 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. Learn More about condition grades
