An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Dark Passage, the 1947 Delmer Daves San Francisco California romantic crime film noir ("Together again!"; "In danger as violent as their love!!!"; "Their crowning achievement together!"; "The hunted become the hunters... As a spectacular Saturday Evening Post serial is brought to the screen!"; "From the Novel by David Goodis"; about a man who was wrongfully convicted of killing his wife, and he escapes from San Quentin and then has plastic surgery to disguise his appearance, and he hitchhikes a ride with beautiful Lauren Bacall, who offers to help him find out who actually killed his wife) starring Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Bruce Bennett, Agnes Moorehead, Tom D'Andrea, Clifton Young, and Douglas Kennedy. Note that this was the third movie in which Humphrey Bogart co-starred with Lauren Bacall. They first met during the filming of "To Have and Have Not" in 1944, and then were married in 1945. They re-teamed for "The Big Sleep" in 1946, and then made this movie the following year. They teamed again in "Key Largo" in 1948, but they did not make another movie together after that, likely having a lot to do with their having two children.

The poster had much staining over the lower half of Bogart's head (unevenly across his cheek and just below his eye and everywhere just below that), plus much staining around the edges of the poster. There was small paper loss at the crossfolds and creases and tears and some tiny areas of paper loss on parts of some foldlines. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty nicely backed under the circumstances, and you don't really have a sense of the poster being fairly heavily restored, EXCEPT in the lower part of Bogart's face, where you can tell that there has been restoration (but it does not "jump" out at you, and it is not very distracting). Perhaps another restorer could improve on that one area. In any event, do not bid on this poster unless you have carefully read the above, and can accept the substantial restoration the poster has had! Learn More about condition grades
