It's Stupendous!! IT'S FUN!!"; "Filmed entirely in New York!"; "Hercules is coming to town!!"; "SEE him topple two-ton newspaper rolls!"; "SEE him thunder through Times Square!"; "SEE him toss tough men like toothpicks!"; "SEE him subdue a mammoth, ferocious bear!"; "Filmed Entirely in New York!") starring Arnold Stang, Arnold Schwarzenegger (billed as "Arnold Strong 'Mr. Universe'"; his film debut, in the title role as "Hercules"), Deborah Loomis, James Karen, Ernest Graves (as Zeus), Tanny McDonald (as Juno), Taina Elg, and Michael Lipton 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 original movie paper from this "classic" first Arnold Schwarzenegger movie is EXTREMELY scarce! In 18 years of full time movie poster selling, we have only three times before sold an original one-sheet from this movie prior to this (we have sold two of this style and one of the other style, which shows how rare they both are!). What IS linenbacking? "Linenbacking" is a process that is used to preserve movie posters (the best restorers de-acidify the poster during the restoration process), and to make them far easier to display (it is much easier and less expensive to frame a linenbacked poster). When linenbacking is done correctly, it adds to the value of the poster, and is NOT a defect! Note that the specific poster in this auction was well linenbacked, but the restorer likely did not attempt to make the poster look "perfect". You may still see some slight evidence of the restoration and/or the defects when you look at the poster from inches away. But the poster now looks quite nice, and I think most collectors would be extremely happy to display this poster on their wall. In general, know that we received many of the linenbacked posters we are currently selling already linenbacked, but we have examined every poster EXTREMELY carefully, and we did our best to describe what condition the poster was in PRIOR to restoration, the defects the poster had PRIOR to restoration (in the "Pre-Restoration Defects & Quality of Restoration" section), any unrestored defects, and, when it seemed worth noting, something about the quality of the restoration itself. Many other auction houses claim to match what we do in this area, but EVERY person who regularly buys movie posters from major auctions can tell you this is just not the case! We never intentionally overgrade a single item, we never "accidentally" miss defects, and we never enhance a single image! Condition: very good to fine. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and the most minor of fold and border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, and looks great! Learn More about condition grades
