Moby Dick, the 1956 John Huston English/U.S. seafaring adventure thriller ("The Man- The Whale- The Vengeance- The Mightiest Adventure Ever Seen!"; "Never such a sight! Never such a might!"; "Captain Ahab The White Whale nearly destroyed him - and no one would rest till the White Whale was dead!"; "Ishmael Handsome, romantic - the look of a poet, the courage of a giant!"; "Starbuck He bet his fears and his faith against the fury of Captain Ahab!"; "Queequeg Cannibal-turned-harpooner - his fierce strength as strange as his mystic tattoo!"; "Father Mapple The blood-and-thunder preacher who roared his warnings to the waiting women!"; "Tashtego The silent Indian --- when hunting buffalo became too tame, he went after Moby Dick!"; "In all the world - in all the seas - in all adventure there is no might like the might of Moby Dick"; "Filmed with a spectacular new development in color by Technicolor"; "From the famed novel by Herman Melville"; "Screen Play by Ray Bradbury & John Huston") starring Gregory Peck (as Captain Ahab), Richard Basehart (as Ishmael), Leo Genn, Orson Welles (in an impressive cameo role, "as 'Father Mapple'"), Friedreich Ledebur (as Queeqeg), and Harry Andrews

Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and it had defects which were repaired during the linenbacking process (which we describe below, as well as the quality of the restoration, if I thought there was something about the restoration worth commenting on!). You should also look 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 an extra foldline down the center half of the poster, 1/4" from the regular foldline; there was an extra foldline just below the regular top and bottom foldlines in the right half of the poster; the poster had paper loss in the blank corners. The poster was well backed, and the above defects were well restored and the poster looks quite nice!
