Farrell MacDonald, Holmes Herbert, June Collyer, Johnny Dooley, and Dore Davidson NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this movie is almost entirely set in New York City, and yet the poster designer oddly chose to have an image of a barge sinking, which plays a very minor role at the beginning of the movie! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Condition: good to very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had never been folded. It had faint water staining scattered down the left and right of the poster, primarily in the blue background areas, and there was some staining across the top of the bottom small credits area, extending into the iceberg at bottom right. There were some tiny chips in the red letters of the title. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The person who restored the poster did slight restoration to the blank borders and the red letters of the title, but otherwise pretty much left the image alone (and I agree with that decision, because to make the image look "perfect" would have required lots of paint, which would have given the poster a "heavily restored" look, and I don't feel the faint water staining is all that distracting, and it helps establish that this is a genuine 83 year-old original poster!). Obviously, one would prefer to find an example of this insert that had no defects or restoration, but I do not know if another example of this insert exists (or if it does, if the owner would consider parting with it!).
