An Undated (probably 1940s or 1950s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Argentinean Movie Poster (measures approximately 29" x 43") (Learn More) The Masked Marvel, the 1943 Spencer Gordon Bennet (billed as "Spencer Bennet") World War II (WWII) insurance fraud crime action spy espionage serial ("A Republic Serial in 12 Chapters"; "Original Screenplay by Royal Cole, Ronald Davidson, Basil Dickey, Jesse Duffy, Grant Nelson, George Plympton, and Joseph Poland") starring William Forrest, Louise Currie, Johnny Arthur, Rod Bacon, Richard Clarke, Roy Barcroft, Anthony Warde, and Tom Steele (who plays The Masked Marvel throughout the movie, but see below for more!). Note that the plot of this serial concerned an insurance company's investigators who investigate Japanese sabotage of war factories. There is a mysterious super hero type person called The Masked Marvel, and the trick of the movie is that they reveal to you that he is really one of the four insurance investigators, but the audience does not learn who he is, and the four men wear identical suits throughout the movie, so that you can't tell by their clothing (and actually, stuntman Tom Steele plays him throughout)! 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: This Argentinean poster measures approximately 29" x 43" and is linenbacked. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-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 circular area of paper loss at the middle crossfold approximately 1" in diameter. There was tiny paper loss at the other two crossfolds. There were pinholes around the edges of the poster and wear along the foldlines. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the replaced area at the middle crossfold (but since it is just background area, it is not distracting) Learn More about condition grades
