Lee silent romantic love triangle silver mine tropical island melodrama ("A mighty romance of love, life, and honor in the struggle for wealth."; "From the novel 'Nostromo' by Joseph Conrad"; about an honest man who runs a silver mine for a rich man on a tropical island, and he is engaged to one woman but loves another, and he gets the idea to steal a lot of silver and run off with the other woman, but when she rejects him because he has become a thief, he confesses to the owner of the mine) starring George O'Brien, Lou Tellegen, Joan Renee, Helena D'Algy, Hedda Hopper, and Harvey Clark. Note that there never was another movie adaptation of this Joseph Conrad novel. In 1991, legendary British director David Lean was to start filming a movie adaptation of Nostromo, with Steven Spielberg producing it for Warner Bros., but Lean died a few weeks before the principal photography was to begin. Marlon Brando, Paul Scofield, Peter O'Toole, Isabella Rossellini, Christopher Lambert, and Dennis Quaid had all been set to star in this adaptation. What a wonderful movie it might have been!

It now looks great, and most dealers would describe it as "fine (or mint) on linen". We have noted the defects that were restored below (and feel everyone should always do this!). Many collectors would not be aware of the restoration this poster has had unless it was specifically shown to them! Condition: very good. This poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. It appears to have had the following defects: the poster had tattered borders and the restorer over painted much of the old borders (it was so well done that I doubt hardly any collectors could tell). The image area had only small holes at the crossfolds, mild fold wear, and two tears in the middle of the right border. The defects were well corrected during the linenbacking process and the poster now looks great! Learn More about condition grades
