An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Chapter #1 (The Masked Crusader) One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (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. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to linenbacking, the poster had darkened. It had paper loss at the crossfolds, with some tears and small paper loss scattered down the vertical fold, and a lesser amount of wear on the horizontal folds. It had pinholes around the edges, and when they were removed, they caused paper loss in several areas of the borders, and there was also paper loss in the top left corner that was approximately 2" x 3", and which affected the entire "T" of "The", and the very top of the "M". Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
