Can anyone imagine today's studios making a movie with so many top level stars? It is extremely rare to see three top stars in any movie, but this movie had four of the all-time greatest, and it is a thoroughly enjoyable movie! 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 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. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. Some of these items can ONLY be sent in flat packages, and could not possibly be rolled into a tube. On some of them (for example f it is a size that might ordinarily be rolled in a tube, like a half-sheet), the reason it is in this auction is specifically because we feel it either CAN'T be rolled or because we feel it would be a mistake to roll it, because it might well damage the item. In the case of the few items that could be rolled, we will roll the item in a tube if the new owner insists, but only if they accept that they can't return the item if it is damaged from being rolled. So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had a long series of jagged tears running roughly across the upper center of the poster. One tear started in Powell's neck and shirt, and runs diagonally through his cheek and upper nose, up into Loy's credit, and then continued both up into Powell's credit and down and across the center of the title. There was paper loss in the upper right corner of the image extending into the last "L" of "POWELL". There was a tear between Loy and Tracy's face with paper loss in Tracy's chin, and in Harlow's finger beneath that. There were some smudges in the yellow background areas and some creases and small tears around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but while you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects, they are not all that distracting, but they are somewhat noticeable, even from a reasonable viewing distance.
