An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Polish Movie Poster (measures 16" x 23") (Learn More) The Apartment, the 1960 Billy Wilder (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) romantic melodrama ("Movie-wise, there has never been anything like 'The Apartment' love-wise, laugh-wise or otherwise-wise!"; "Written by Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond"; "A Billy 'Some Like It Hot' Wilder production"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award; a surprisingly downbeat movie about a young unmarried executive at a company who starts rising up when he starts letting married executives use his apartment for extra-marital affairs) starring Jack Lemmon (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Shirley MacLaine (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Fred MacMurray, Ray Walston, Edie Adams (as Miss Olsen), Naomi Stevens, Hope Holiday, and Jack Kruschen (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Dr. Dreyfuss).

Artist: Zygmunt Anczykowski Important Added Info: This Polish poster measures 16" x 23" and is linenbacked. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the restorer did a good job, but you can see signs of the restoration from inches away (since most people look at posters framed on a wall from at least a few feet away, we don't feel this is a defect, but we feel it should be noted). OR you can't see the restoration because it was so well done, but the poster had fairly significant defects. OR no restoration was performed, but the defects are not major, and restoration could be done to the poster without re-backing it. See below for its pre-restoration defects (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). poster has a small hole at the crossfold and very minor smudges and creases throughout. The poster is well linenbacked but the person who did so pretty much just mounted the poster and left the minor defects alone. They are noticeable from close up, but less so from any distance away, I believe a talented restorer could touch up the defects without rebacking the poster. Learn More about condition grades
