An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Japanese Movie Poster (measures 20" x 28 1/2") (Learn More) Le Amiche (released in the U.S. as "The Girlfriends"), the 1955 Michelangelo Antonioni Italian romantic melodrama (based on the novel by Cesare Pavese) starring Eleonora Rossi Drago, Gabriele Ferzetti, Franco Fabrizi, Valentina Cortese, and Yvonne Furneaux 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 well restored. 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 Defects & Quality of 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 a strong diagonal crease running from the top crossfold to the upper right border, and there were many extra creases and tiny tears around the top crossfold. Otherwise, the poster was in pretty good condition. The person who backed the poster simply backed it "as is", and so the creases in the top right are noticeable, and, I would say, distracting. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept this defect, or are willing to pay to have further restoration performed on the poster. Learn More about condition grades
