Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (27" x 41") (Learn More) Black Narcissus, the 1947 Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger English religious Catholic relationship melodrama ("A story to storm your heart!"; "Drama at the top of the world... where the winds of the exotic past sweep men and women to a strange and fascinating adventure..."; "Adapted from the novel by Rumer Godden"; "Written Produced and Directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger"; about nuns setting up convent in the Himalayas) starring Deborah Kerr (billed on English posters as "[By arrangement with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]"; billed on U.S. posters as "M.G.M. star of 'Hucksters' fame"), Sabu, David Farrar, Flora Robson, Esmond Knight, Jean Simmons, and Kathleen Byron.

It now looks great, and most dealers would describe it as "fine (or mint) on linen". We have noted the defects that were restored below (and feel everyone should always do this!). Many collectors would not be aware of the restoration this poster has had unless it was specifically shown to them! Condition: good to very good. This poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. It appears to have had the following defects: There were extra creases along the bottom foldline and paper loss at the bottom crossfold. There was slight separation on other foldlines and pinholes, tears, and paper loss in the corners. There was a 10" diagonal tear running from Kerr's neck down to the right of the circular area. The poster did not have the best of restoration (especially at the top crossfolds where fine white areas can be seen in Kerr's forehead). However, a talented restorer could certainly perform additional restoration to this poster (and greatly improve its appearance) without rebacking the poster. Learn More about condition grades
