Edward Sutherland South Seas tropical island castaway romantic adventure comedy ("A modern comedy-drama seething with thrills"; "Reckless DAREDEVIL!.. Dashing LOVER!..

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. The poster had creases and some tiny tears on some foldlines. There were many smudges in the solid background areas, and the borders were quite tattered. The person who did the restoration put new blank white paper over all the borders to even out the appearance (but the small writing at the bottom of the poster was not covered over). This is a common technique used by several top restorers. It is done so well that the majority of collectors are not even aware it has been done, and many do not feel it to be a significant detraction (since it is only blank white area). In addition to covering over the borders, the restorer also did a lot of inpainting to the solid background areas. But because there was not much paint restoration done to the images, the poster does not have a heavily restored "dipped in paint" look to it. The poster has had significant restoration, but it was restored very nicely, and I would think most collectors would be happy to have it displayed on their wall, and few people would even realize that it had had a lot of restoration!
