An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Undercurrent, the 1946 Vincente Minnelli romantic family relationship crime film noir ("Please don't tell the terrific ending!"; "Based on a story by Thelma Strabel"; about a woman who impulsively marries a man, and then discovers he has a brother who has mysteriously vanished, and she comes to suspect that he has murdered the missing brother) starring Katharine Hepburn ("Never so exciting!"), Robert Taylor ("He's back! And it's his greatest role!"), Robert Mitchum, Edmund Gwenn, Marjorie Main, Jayne Meadows (in her first movie role!; on some stills she is referred to as "Jayne Cotter"), Clinton Sundberg, and Dan Tobin. Note that the tagline after Robert Taylor's credit about him being "back" refers to this being his first movie after he finished his military service during World War II. Also note that Lorraine Day had agreed to to appear in the movie "Keep Your Powder Dry" on the condition that she star in this movie, but then MGM reneged on the deal, and Day asked to be released from her contract and MGM obliged. Finally, note that there was a long-standing story that Katharine Hepburn felt Mitchum was a poor actor who only got by on his looks, and that she told him so to his face, but when Mitchum appeared on the Dick Cavett TV show, he said that this was a complete myth, and that he and Hepburn got along really well!

We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! Note also that this poster has been paperbacked. This means that a professional restorer mounted it on to a paperbacking and then performed restoration to its defects. This particular poster was backed on to a fairly heavy paperbacking. While it could conceivably be rolled, it would almost surely damage the poster to do so, so we will only roll the poster if the buyer accepts responsibility for any damage. Since the poster can't be reasonably rolled and will need to be sent in a large flat package, so bear in mind this additional cost when bidding on this poster. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster was never folded. It had minor wear around the edges. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
